A human worker can be coached, fired, terminated, sued, any number of things can be done to a human worker for making such a mistake or willful attack. But AI companies, as we have seen with almost every issue so far, will be given a pass while Sam Altman sycophants cheer and talk about how it'll "get better" in the future, just trust them.

Yeah, if I hung a sign on my door saying "Answers generated by this person may be incorrect" my boss and HR would quickly put me on a PIP, or worse. If a physical product didn't do what it claimed to do, it would be recalled and the maker would get sued. Why does AI get a pass just pooping out plausible but incorrect, and sometimes very dangerous, answers?

I also have never written a bug, fellow alien.

I do not fear the employee who makes a mistake, I fear the AI that will make hundreds of mistakes in thousands of companies, endlessly.
As employees also do across thousands of companies.
