Because those adopting it on mass are being dumb.
AI isn't supposed to be a replacement but like all TOOLS a complement.
When you have a new tool to mechanise a process, you're supposed to keep on experienced staff who KNOW the process, can see when the tool is having issues and fix as well as improve it to work better.
A LOT of companies are getting AI, FIRING the experienced western staff then hiring a bunch of cheap, dumber H1B1s and then are shocked AI isn't able to keep up. They're actually SLOWING AI development doing this which is why the bubble already seems to be bursting.

To be fair, databases are obsolete since the AI can just hallucinate the data needed. Saves a lot of money and time that way.
It's true. Lot of answers only need approximations though because a lot of work is "speculative" such that you're guessing half the time anyway. A hallucination can work just as well if it's close enough.
The problem there is that humans can take a halucination and ask "is this a sane answer?". AI cannot.
