If a carpenter builds a crappy shelf “because” his power tools are not calibrated correctly - that’s a crappy carpenter, not a crappy tool.

If a scientist uses an LLM to write a paper with fabricated citations - that’s a crappy scientist.

AI is not the problem, laziness and negligence is. There needs to be serious social consequences to this kind of thing, otherwise we are tacitly endorsing it.

Absolutely brutal case of engineering brain here. Real "guns don't kill people, people kill people" stuff.

Your second statement is correct. What about it makes it “engineering brain”?

If the blame were solely on the user then we'd see similar rates of deaths from gun violence in the US vs. other countries. But we don't, because users are influenced by the UX

Somehow people don't kill people nearly as easily, or with as high of a frequency or social support, in places that don't have guns that are more accessible than healthcare. So weird.
