Nvidia CEO: Everybody should use AI. Society has no choice but to change. I used to play in the streets. When cars came along, you obviously can’t play in the streets now

something they know isn’t correct ALL of the time

Neither are humans…

I expect Joe at the cash register might occasionally count his drawer wrong. However, he’s not going to randomly give me made up shit.

I agree that AI is inhumanly good at presenting wrong information confidently and convincingly.

Humans can be held accountable though. Which means they would rather say “I believe this is because …” than “you are absolutely right! If you remove the voltage regulator from the power supply, it will provide more power!”. And if they don’t, they can be fired or put in prison, where they can stop doing harm.

If your LLM repeatedly lies to you, there’s nothing you can do about it. Maybe try another LLM, but there’s not many of them and they all lie.

I think the perspective of moral responsibility ("lie”, “held accountable") is not a useful one here. Punishment is one way of discouraging humans from making mistakes but it can’t prevent mistakes entirely. My field is software development and in software development there is the expectation that everyone, even the best human developer, makes mistakes relatively often, and there are frameworks for managing those mistakes. (Frameworks not focused primarily on blame or punishment.) AI can fit into those frameworks.
