I understand your frustration, but it's more or less what is being advertised as possible and reasonable to try with current AIs. I don't think you'd see the articles as much (or at least not without more refutation) if it was more clear what to expect from AI in its current state. Companies are rushing to implement models into their products without considering all the qualifiers and methods to get good results that you mention in your post. I am not saying you're wrong, but it's hard for me to be frustrated with lay persons when the type of prompting you're frustrated about is exactly what they were told they can do.

AI is pretty fine in its current state for quick look-ups of stuff, but I absolutely agree with you -- without really focusing on the prompt given, the results will be suspect with current models. I am not meaning to discredit or disrespect AI, though I definitely do want to disrespect the way AI is being sold, neverminding how AI is portrayed in media.

We are already at the point we need to watch our tone online. :)
