@leanderlindahl @parismarx Do these same people trust all other people without question as well?

@leanderlindahl

We have taught people to trust computers because, properly programmed, they are very accurate at deterministic arithmetic problems, like balancing bank accounts, plotting flights to Mars and many more.

That trust carries over to LLMs but can soon be lost.

The tech bros are betting they can fix the accuracy problem before the trust is lost, which seems unlikely.
