🤖 The biggest problem with AI

"It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so." - Mark Twain (maybe)

AI is really good at summarizing existing information. It is less good at thinking, although it can do some amazing things. The biggest deficiency I see right now is AI does not know how to ask questions and doesn't know what it doesn't know. It just makes assumptions and pretends like it knows what it is doing. People like this are some of the hardest ones to work with. They act like they know everything and never think they are wrong. Smart people, blind to their own weaknesses, make the subtlest, hardest problems to find.

Until AI is self-aware of its own weaknesses and knows how to ask questions, we cannot fully trust it to operate like a professional human. It needs watched very carefully. AI can still be very useful, and it will likely get better, but for now, I think this is the current state.
