it’s not “some people”, it’s practically everyone that doesn’t understand how these tools work, and even some people that do.

Lawyers are running their careers by citing hallucinated cases. Researchers are writing papers with hallucinated references. Programmers are taking down production by not verifying AI code.

Humans were made to do things, not to verify things. Verifying something is 10x harder than doing it right. AI in the hands of humans is a foot rocket launcher.

Again, true for most things. A lot of people are terrible drivers, terrible judge of their own character, and terrible recreational drug users. Does that mean we need to remove all those things that can be misused?

I much rather push back on shoddy work no matter what source. I don't care if the citations are from a robot or a human, if they suck, then you suck, because you're presenting this as your work. I don't care if your paralegal actually wrote the document, be responsible for the work you supposedly do.

I'm glad you seemingly have some grand idea of what humans were meant to do, I certainly wouldn't claim I do so, but I'm also not religious. For me, humans do what humans do, and while we didn't used to mostly sit down and consume so much food and other things, now we do.

Uhh, yes??? We have completely reshaped our cities so that cars can thrive in them at the expense of people. We have laws and exams and enforcement all to prevent cars from being driven by irresponsible people.

And most drugs are literally illegal! The ones that arent are highly regulated!

If your argument is that AI is like heroin then I agree, let’s ban it and arrest anyone making it.

People need to be responsible for things they put their name on. End of story. No AI company claims their models are perfect and don’t hallucinate. But paper authors should at least verify every single character their submit.

		>No AI company claims their models are perfect and don’t hallucinate You can't have it both ways. Either AIs are worth billions BECAUSE they can run mostly unsupervised or they are not. This is exactly like the AI driving system in Autopilot, sold as autonomous but reality doesn't live up to it.

		Yes, but they don’t. So clearly AI is a foot gun. What are doing about it?
