Don't worry, the Internet keeps telling me that AI is a useless stochastic parrot that hallucinates everything it says anyway.
Both of these things can be true. It still works if it occasionally throws a few innocents in front of the bus.
Thus, by a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak.
Mate, where do I even begin here.
People have different opinions.
AI can make horrifying mistakes and still on average do its intended purpose. If you catch 90% murderers and 10% innocents, that is apparently good enough for quite a few governments.
You literally just said you held both.
Alright, have a nice day
