AI agents: Less capability, more reliability, please

Reality is probabilistic yes but it’s not black box. We can improve our systems by understanding and addressing the flaws in our engineering. Do you want probabilistic black-box banking? Flight controls? Insurance?

”It works when it works” is fine when stakes are low and human is in the loop, like artwork for a blog post. And so in a way, I agree with you. AI doesn’t belong in intermediate computer-to-computer interactions, unless the stakes are low. What scares me is that the AI optimists are desperately looking to apply LLMs to domains and tasks where the cost of mistakes are high.
