"Mistakenly"? More like delusionally. The shortcomings of current AI systems are hardly a secret. Anyone who spent a few minutes getting informed would be aware of those.

Reminds me of the Harvard debt derivative model no one understood but everyone trusted, including Harvard's endowment managers.
