Drew Breunig categorizes AI into three distinct use cases: gods, interns, and cogs. ‘Gods’ refer to AGI, which poses existential risks.
‘Interns’ are AI systems like ChatGPT and Claude that assist experts with grunt work. They need supervision but are already integral in many industries.
The term ‘cogs’ refers to lowly machines optimized for single tasks. This categorization helps clarify the varying roles AI plays in our lives.
Breunig emphasizes that understanding these categories enables better discussions about AI, which is essential given how varied interpretations affect its development.
