    I totally get all the concerns related to AI. However, the bandwagon of: “look it made a mistake, it’s useless!” is a bit silly.

    First of all, AI is constantly improving. Remember everyone laughing at AI’s mangled fingers? Well, that has been fixed some time ago. Now pictures of people are pretty much indistinguishable from real ones.

    Second, people also make critical mistakes, plenty at that. The question is not whether AI can be absolutely accurate. The question is whether AI can make on average fewer mistakes than human.

    I hate the idea of AI replacing everything and everyone. However, pretending that AI will not be eventually faster, better, cheeper and more accurate that most humans is wishful thinking. I honestly think that our only hope is legislation, not the desperate wish that AI will always need human supervision and input to be correct.
