a problem I have with AI is the certainty of statements that are incorrect

Posted on August 13, 2026 at 09:30:44 AM by DoctorD

it often makes things sound far more certain or known than they actually are. And if you push back it might acknowledge your concern but the overall tone of it can be way too certain IMHO

Back to the board

- Similar to my work place, if you can't create AI agents that will satiate your bosses AI agents you'll be turned into glue. It's an arms race, if you can't control the robots / AI better than your opposition you won't last long - By Arctic August 13, 2026 at 01:10:45 AM
  - In the long run though, whether you are using pencil/paper or AI, don't you have to be a successful business? You can't be dysfuntional and incompetent even if it means your bosses' AI agents are happy and your competition agents are controlled - By Rich August 13, 2026 at 01:17:45 AM
    - the stupid and folks who don't get nuance won't be able to use AI competitively, fully agreed - By Arctic August 13, 2026 at 01:22:26 AM
- AI is the worst thing to happen to the world, possibly ever. It depresses the fuck out of me that we’re only in the early stages. I don’t think human society as we know it will last more than 10 or so years from now* - By Poster P August 13, 2026 at 12:36:57 AM
  - I choose to be more optimistic, but I don't know why. Tough to see the path, and I have serious concerns for my teenage kids who'll be entering the workforce in 5-7 years* - By wolvalum August 13, 2026 at 12:38:31 AM
    - The thing is, AI is not a person, it's a tool. We are CHOOSING to let the disastrous situation in your post above to develop. At some point, doesn't management say - By Rich August 13, 2026 at 01:05:12 AM
      - With the caveat that I have no fucking idea what the long term implications of AI are, yes, I agree with this. There will be a massive bubble, and a massive burst, and probably a massive bs bailout, and then a massive reset, just like what happened with the dotcom and mortgage bubbles. - By jjwalker August 13, 2026 at 01:16:24 AM
