Somethings I just want to grab editors and say to them "Don't tell me that something doesn't do everything." Nothing does everything. And I blame the editor because in the very first paragraph of the story we have the much more narrow assertion that "AI is still serving as an assistant, not a full-time employee." Which is still a bit like "AI doesn't do everything" but at least now we've narrowed it down to the scope of a single job. But the thing is, even humans don't do everything, which is why is most every workplace we have more than one human. And when we say an 'AI is serving as an assistant' or describe 'AI as a teammate' we're pointing to a job that could be done by a human (maybe), but isn't. For example, in this article, we're talking about chatbots that help first-year students find information they need. And that is the interesting part of the article and what should be in the headline.
