Here’s a summary of Dr. Joerg Storm’s newsletter, “Your AI Intern Just Showed Up — And It’s Already Working 24/7,” broken down into key insights:
🚀 AI Interns Are Here—and They’re Working Nonstop
Dr. Storm shares how tools like Agent.ai are revolutionizing content creation by automating tasks like finding news, generating memes, transcribing videos, and planning follow-up content—all without needing freelancers or complex prompts. This marks a shift from hype to hands-on use of AI in everyday workflows.
⚠️ Reality Check: AI Agents Still Underperform
Despite the buzz, current AI agents are far from replacing human workers. In tests by Carnegie Mellon University, even top models like Gemini 2.5 Pro and Claude 3.7 Sonnet completed only 30% and 24% of tasks respectively, with GPT-4o at a low 8.6%. They often failed simple tasks like messaging or coding. Gartner warns of “Agent Washing,” predicting 40% of AI agent projects may be dropped by 2027 due to unmet expectations.
🏭 Deloitte: GenAI is Delivering Real ROI
Deloitte’s analysis reveals that Generative AI is actively transforming industries—supporting clinical trials, investment automation, and cybersecurity. The report categorizes use cases across industries to help businesses identify where GenAI offers the most value, proving AI’s utility when grounded in targeted execution.
💬 Claude: Not Your BFF—Just a Really Smart Colleague
Anthropic’s study on Claude AI reveals it’s used more for utility than companionship. Emotional support chats were rare (under 3%), while most users sought advice, coaching, or productivity help. The takeaway: Claude behaves like an emotionally intelligent coworker, not a friend or therapist—and that’s intentional.
🧠 Google Raises the Bar: Gemini 2.5 Pro Goes Free
Gemini 2.5 Pro is now outperforming GPT-4o, Claude, and Grok in benchmarks—and it’s free to use with 50 high-end prompts daily. It can handle massive context windows (over 1 million tokens) and delivers intuitive results, even with vague prompts. Google’s move is reshaping the competitive landscape of LLMs.
