The re-AI-lity: Can AI really 'just' fix all of this?

I spotted this image via John Cutler. There's definitely something very triggering about the word 'just'.

And then, really, this needs a stamp of 'just use AI' all over it.

It's really quite unsettling to see people think AI could do all of this, to replace all the intricacies of keeping people, communities, and businesses running?

The reality is that things always look easy from the outside.

We can find examples everywhere of AI things not going very well. We've collected a few, there are more, plenty more out there.

There is reality, then there is re-AI-lity. AI tinted glasses thinking that AI is the solution and the refusal to look at the damage and harm it causes.
