I wish people would stop comparing AI to Humans, honestly

I know humans are flawed. We all know

The appeal of computer systems is that they are consistent. The ideal software is bug free, zero flaws

Creating human-like computer systems is so worthless. Why would we want to make them less predictable and less consistent

Language models happen to share human flaws, but like humans they can amplify their abilities and reliability by building and using reliable tools.

I actually prefer a system that's correct half of the time at thousands of times the cost & speed.

The real answer is it's completely domain-specific. If you're trying to search for something that you'll instantly know when you see it, then something that can instantly give you 5 wrong answers and 1 right answer is a godsend and barely worse than something that is right 100% of the time. If the task is to be an authoritative designer of a new aeroplane, it's a different story.
