At a time when most generative A.I. startups are touting how capable their software is, it is jarring to hear Mustafa Suleyman, the cofounder of Inflection, talking up how limited his startup’s A.I.-powered chatbot, Pi, is.
“It doesn't generate code. It doesn't write high school essays. It doesn't produce long, drawn out lists. It won't write you a marketing strategy.
