Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

I mean, trust but verify is a thing for a reason.
Distrust but verify
The fact that it needs repeating is confirmation that AI output is dogshit that cannot be trusted. Using AI as anything other than a starting point, like how search engines are used, is dangerous for anything where accuracy matters.
You cannot honestly call it "trust" if you still have to go through the output with a magnifying glass and make sure it didn't tell anyone to put glue on their pizza.
When any other technology fails to achieve its stated purpose, we call it flawed and unreliable. But AI is so magical! It receives credit for everything it happens to get right, and it's my fault when it gets something wrong.
The business must have some level of trust to deploy the tool.
They are trusting a "tool" that categorically cannot be trusted. They are fools to trust it.
Yes they are fools.
And it just so happens that chatbots discourage the "verify" part by design...
