I agree with this statement that just because an AI did it for you fast doesn't mean it takes away the responsibility if they did it wrong. You are still held accountable because you're the one that directed them to do it. You hit the agree button, you hit the send button, you hit the submit button. And if you set it up so that you take no responsibility and it does it automatically, you're the one that still gave permission to do that.

If you say a rogue AI is doing stuff accordingly without you, your knowledge, that is a different story. But if you set it up to run automatically without having checks and balances and without telling you the whole truth, it's still your responsibility. One thing that I can automatically say is you can give the AI, it will do exactly what you say, at least for now.

But then there's also a different problem that we're having where people don't understand the difference between a large LLM and true artificial intelligence. Now, we say AI because it can make decisions and it is so much smarter and it can call up stuff faster and recall better than we can. But the difference right now is that if we don't understand and take responsibility for what we built and we let it out of control, then should we have the responsibility to even have these tools in our hands if we don't learn them?

And I think your terminology with jackhammers is a great one. We're giving toddlers jackhammers. And we haven't taught them how to use it. And that can be very destructive. It's not the jackhammer's fault. It's the person using it.
