I don't know about Google, but Twitter and Razer have certainly marketed AI that way. Tech bros will tell you LLMs have limitless potential in filling any role/accomplishing any task, and it's not just mentally ill individuals that believe them, but also far too many enterprise customers. Hell, almost the entire US stock market is propped up on that lie currently.
Good point. I've got to rephrase things a bit, because I didn't come across as saying what I meant. They claim that it COULD replace it. That it has the potential to. To me, that's akin to'not yet currently'. It's like Tesla and their self driving anthics: they throw out a beta and imply that it's a good replacement while it's never tested under scrutiny.
AI has no medical, psychological or other degree. And when I use it in a field I know something about, it's often dead wrong on empirical things (as I find out later). There's no reason to blindly assume it knows better in fields I don't know anything about (okay... I assume it's better than what I know on the subject, but that's not to say that's it's therefore correct).
