I recently completed a fairly complex implementation training in government for a team of non-technical users, including agents, agentic workflows, some RAG, and small-scale enterprise app deployments.

I find it a very cool technology, but it is dumb yet. When unbounded, AI does some cool stuff. But building for complex workflows, I find, has resulted in a mixed bag of results. Very specific functions, such as mining data patterns, it is not bad at. But add gray area and it kind of takes stabs in the dark, much like a badly defined Web search.

Even our technical teams sell it as a 10-20% increase in efficiency, not a firesale position replacement. And they’re mandated to adopt and distribute it as widely through govt as possible.

In short, I think this is a fair assessment lol AI may replace us one day, but the models are far too new yet
