We are driving full speed into a xerox 2.0 moment and this time we are doing so knowingly. At least with xerox, the errors were out of place and easy to detect by a human. I wonder how many innocent people will lose their lives or be falsely incarcerated because of this. I wonder if we will adapt our systems and procedures to account for hallucinations and "85%" accuracy.

And no, outlawing use the use of AI or increasing liability with its use will have next to nothing to deter its misuse and everyone knows it. My heart goes out to the remaining 15%.

I love generative AI as a technology. But the worst thing about its arrival has been the reckless abandonment of all engineering discipline and common sense. It’s embarrassing.
