In this episode, we ask the question everyone keeps dancing around: has AI finally become useful, or are we still politely waiting for it to finish buffering? From chatbots that can pass exams yet freeze on simple tasks, to models that generate brilliant ideas right next to nonsensical ones, we explore the strange middle ground between hype and genuine help. Join us as we break down what AI can actually do today, where it still falls flat, and whether it’s ready to be trusted with more than drafting emails and arguing with microwaves.
