Lost me at the claim AI is good at judgement making, this is the exact opposite of my experience, they make both good and bad decisions with reliability

I think that's also true of people but we are kinder to each other and ourselves when judgement is bad.

How many times have you been in a conversation where you asked the wrong question or stated the wrong thing because you either weren't 100% listening (no one is), or you forgot, or you didn't connect the same dots that others did?

		Treating humans differently makes sense because the "badness" of a judgement isn't just the correctness of an outcome, but also the nature of the process that created it, and humans are a different process. For example, if two otherwise-identical humans yield the same equally-correct answer, we probably will favor the one that reached it through facts and reasoning, as opposed to the one who literally flipped a coin.

I think it makes better decisions than me provided I give it enough high-level direction and context.

Sometimes I give it __too much__ direction and it finds the solution I had in mind but not the best.

I'm not into it enough that I'm formally running different personas against each other in a co-operative system but I kind of informally do that.

		The type of decision very much matters, coding is one thing. I met a chap at the bar who ChatGPT had verified his crazy theories and he now outsourced all of his major life decisions to it, very proud and enthusiastic about it all. First IRL case of AI psychosis I have encountered. He was keen for my thoughts, as though I was the first person he met IRL that knew more than the layman about Ai. Hope the questions (contradictions) I left him with helped bring him back a bit. It's going to get a lot worse
