AI can be a REALLY powerful tool, but it is not the savior to make all things technology great. But for research and monotonous tasks and prototyping, it has shown to be a huge timesaver in the hands of someone who knows the underlying process/data they are working on.
And businesses are already seeing how AI is not actually helping but hurting their workflow and reverting at least partially from AI-centric work. My concern is the random dumping of PII into the AI databases without understanding how to secure that data. The MCP servers connect infrastructure to an AI without understanding how to secure that access and the data they just fed to the AI.
