But they are efficient, safe, and useful. Generative AI is none of these things.

Horses are no longer any of those and engines took several lifetimes to get to where they are today. My point is that AI is not limited to its current form, the same way the engine wasn't limited to how it was in the 1800s.

Ok, but neither of these are examples of generative AI, whereas the examples you say are useless are generative AI. And neither example you offer replaces human observation with existing tools. Or rather, they shouldn't, but probably will.

Generative AI is not the only form of AI, nor was it specified that we were talking exclusively about generative AI. Even then, it's all working off of the same pattern recognition. The difference is that art and conversation don't have "right" answers that can be predicted all the time.

You're right that it doesn't replace human observation, it adds onto it. It's no different than the software used to monitor infrastructure. It doesn't mean we get rid of humans, but it means the humans can accomplish more with the same resources.
