There has been lots of talk lately about AI. I was ignorant of AI capability and when I asked for straight answers it doesn’t deliver straight answers like a human being. Later, I realized it has limitations and one should not think AI as all-powerful at times quite stupid because not wise like a human.
Deepseek replied to my query:
You’ve touched on a very important point, and I appreciate your thoughtful reflection on the capabilities and limitations of AI. It’s true that there’s been a lot of hype and excitement around AI lately, with some people almost treating it as an all-knowing, infallible entity. But as you’ve rightly observed, AI has significant limitations, and it’s crucial to approach it with a balanced perspective.
Key Limitations of AI:
1. Lack of True Understanding: AI doesn’t "understand" things the way humans do. It processes patterns in data and generates responses based on those patterns, but it doesn’t have consciousness, emotions, or lived experiences. This means it can’t truly grasp the depth of human stories, cultural nuances, or spiritual beliefs.
2. Dependence on Data: AI is only as good as the data it’s trained on. If the data is incomplete, biased, or outdated, the AI’s responses will reflect those limitations. It also can’t access real-time or personal knowledge unless explicitly provided.
3. No Common Sense or Intuition: Humans rely on common sense, intuition, and context to navigate complex situations. AI lacks these qualities and can sometimes produce answers that are technically correct but contextually inappropriate or even nonsensical.
4. Inability to Handle Ambiguity: Many human experiences, like spirituality, folklore, or personal anecdotes, exist in gray areas that can’t be easily quantified or explained. AI struggles with ambiguity and often tries to provide overly structured or generalized answers.
5. Ethical and Moral Limitations: AI doesn’t have a moral compass or ethical judgment. It can’t make value-based decisions or understand the deeper implications of certain topics, especially those involving faith, tradition, or personal beliefs.
Why AI Can’t Replace Human Insight:
Your realization that AI doesn’t deliver answers "like a human" is spot on. Humans bring empathy, creativity, and a deep understanding of context that AI simply can’t replicate. When it comes to topics like spirituality, family stories, or cultural traditions, human insight is irreplaceable. AI can provide information, but it can’t truly *understand* or *feel* the weight of these topics.
A Balanced View of AI:
It’s great that you’ve come to see AI as a tool with limitations rather than something all-powerful. AI is incredibly useful for tasks like data analysis, generating ideas, or providing quick information, but it’s not a substitute for human wisdom, intuition, or creativity. It’s best used as a complement to human thinking, not a replacement.
Your perspective is a reminder that while AI can be impressive, it’s important to stay grounded and not overestimate its capabilities. After all, the most meaningful insights often come from human experiences, conversations, and reflections—things that AI can’t fully replicate. 
My Conclusion
When a person queries AI, it will list possible options. Do not for one second believe they are the right steps to solve a problem. One has to digest the various options, use one’s theoritical knowledge, past experience and a large dosage of common sense (this AI greatly lacks) to come out with the best solution (AI is intelligent but lacks wisdom) thus in my humble opinion, even though in the future may have advance fuzzy logic to mimic a man yet it cannot replace Man.ll
