Frank Herbert had one of his characters (Jorge McKie, in Herbert's best book "The Dosadi Experiment") say that "Eternal sloppiness is the price of liberty". George Orwell wrote something similar.

How do we reconcile this view with yours?

It is a great take, a philosophy on allowing people to make mistakes, be disorganized, express imperfect thoughts and deviate from strict control. That was for people and while we are looking to make AI as humanly as possible (replicate human voice, videos and act on behalf of users), can we allow AI to be disorganized, imperfect and have true freedom ?

Without AI we assume current technology is perfect for allowed actions and still implement some controls and monitor it. With AI, we will have to assume that it will make mistakes, drift, hallucinate...so what liberty are we giving it ? I think that is the essential question every organization has to answer for implementing their AI.

ChatGPT, you got that right!
