Why we should augment, not automate, workers

It's hard to not get swept up in all the hype surrounding AI at the moment. The more you research the seemingly limitless potential, the grander the scope of your ambition becomes. At first, you automate part of a workflow only to inevitably be struck with the fact you could automate the whole worker or even the entire company! Before you know it, you are positive your AI could stage a convincing coup of a small island nation -- under the right political conditions, of course. Before we can develop compelling AI solutions, however, it is important to check our technical hubris and consider some very limiting factors to AI in its current stage.
