Aside from the MongoDB of it all, wheres the issue with adding "AI" here? As I understand it this is just vector types, similarity searches, embedding indexes, and RAG capabilities.
All of which are just data storage/retrieval mechanics and custom types. This isn't adding some omnipotent AI agent to run/manage/optimize your DB or otherwise turn it into some blackbox gizmo.
Oh I'm pretty sure that will be the next step, given the direction we're moving in and the lack of common sense and responsibility on display.
I see GenAI as a stop gap solution at best, not really optimal for any problems; and AGI is a major distraction from finding good solutions to important problems.
The wild goose chase to apply GenAI to everything has serious consequences.
People are so excited about the fact that a computer can sort of drive a car that they don't even stop to consider that a human driver that randomly fails the same way would never get a license, and rightly so.

We're already applying it to weapons/warfare, which is obviously a very bad idea.
I'm sure the technology will improve, but never to the point where it's reliable. It will fail randomly less often, but the magnitude of its failures isn't going anywhere.
