8. AI is useful when constrained as a compilation and search tool..

Where it falls down is the ability to assess that data on more than its search keywords.

Say I ask it an archeological assessment question like "What did the Neolithic people use their hill forts for?" and put in several common defensive, environmental, or trading criteria along with the catalogue of what has found at Neolithic Hill forts.

Is AI going to notice that some structures that were called Neolithic Hill forts do not have evidence of wells being dug inside fort structures, so maybe, they're something else? Whereas a human being will go "wait a minute,what is missing?" when looking over the site.

I wouldn't use AI to write my answer for me. Just maybe act as my library...but that's only if I know it's not also scraping Social Media.
