"AI can make mistakes, always check the results"

I fucking loathe this phrase and everything that goes into it. It's not advice. It's a threat.

You probably read it as "AI is _capable_ of making mistakes; you _should_ check the results".

What it actually says is "AI is _permitted_ to make mistakes; _you are liable_ for the results, whether you check them or not".

Except "you" is generally not even the person building, installing, or even using the AI. It's the person the AI is used on:

@jenniferplusplus I believe it does not even make mistakes in the conventional sense, as mistakes require an ability to pursue truth.

@ozzelot @jenniferplusplus it's all "hallucination", sometimes it's incidentally correct

and also they're not people so they don't hallucinate either. chatbots produce noise and the vc firms want that to be our fault.
