there are two opposite-but-equal problematic approaches journalists keep using to cover AI and automation technology:

1) they give the technology some insanely difficult and subjective task like "translate this poem" or "psychoanalyze me" and then when it fails they say "lol, well the technology isn't there yet." in actual reality, these products are mostly going to be doing repetitive grunt work, and given the right parameters, they can be **very** good at that.
