"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 right?! What else would you buy if right on the lable it said "this may not be what we say it is" ??

So it may not be correct information, you don't know which part. You are using it to not have to do the legwork yourself. Do you
Take what it gave you, fingers crossed the wrong bits are not too bad
Or
Do legwork to figure out what is wrong defeating the purpose?
AND how do know your source is correct?

#Ai continuing to learn will keep reintroducing bogusness exponentially!?

@Crystal_Fish_Caves what would I buy? Very little.

But, a lot more people than we like to think are gambling addicts. This hits the same psychological exploit as trading card packs, blind boxes, and loot crates. And a lot of the people who are the most vigorous proponents are effectively playing with someone else's money

This does remind me of this fucking weirdness when buying a house:

A lot of the US does not have the government keep track of who owns what land so when you buy a place, you need to also buy insurance that says that you are actually buying it from someone able to sell it.

As far as I can tell every other country just has a department that you can ask "hey is this the owner" and trust the answer.

@gbargoud @Crystal_Fish_Caves @jenniferplusplus if the American insurance industry can find a way to require insurance for something, they will
