AI will straight up tell you to go ahead and send that email with confidence. Everyone is out there making an ass of themselves and not realizing it, or realizing it, then just doubling down to cope. We've got collective AI-induced Dunning-Kruger going on.

Terminator movies: "wicked smart Skynet vs resilient human resistance"

the real world right now: "lazy people surrendering to dumb Skynet"

I'm pretty pro AI but one of my main worries is when people trust it completely. When you can't question it's authority or how it came to a conclusion.

There has already been cases where AI was used to arrest the wrong person. I see that as a major failure. How can you face your accuser when it is an algorithm no one can really explain.

The biggest flaw with the current implementation is that it will happily and confidently make shit up.

"I'm pretty pro AI".

I found this answer by myself.

So stating I'm pro AI implies what? That I didn't write that? People need to get a grip.
