Ah, that’s a tough one. My hope is that Jacquard, or some similar language, can make intent explicit through readable, high-level constructs, giving both the human reviewer and the model a clearer target while the details are filled in. But it still can’t tell us whether the original intent was right. Coincidentally, you reminded me of one of my favorite Charles Babbage quotes: > “On two occasions I have been asked, ‘Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?’ I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.” I suppose catching that kind of mistake is how humans prove to our future AI overlords that we should be kept around. | ||
