A salesman for an AI consulting company made the comment that we don't expect perfection from humans, so why should we expect it from AI? He was smug about it, too, like it was his big gotcha. Joke's on him, I'm the one that talked the bosses out of spending money with them.
If we can't expect better from an AI than from a human, why should we use the AI (other than so you don't have to pay workers)?
“Is your AI accountable for mistakes? All these idiots are…”
That's such a bad argument too. The whole point of technology is to help perfect the output of humans. Why would we buy technology that is known to not do that
"You can get pretty good results most of the time and save money on labor!" Not like our whole business model is focused on expertise and compliance or anything. Surely our clients won't mind a few little mistakes here and there, as a treat.
The neat part is that we can't even claim that they're little mistakes or that there's few of them.
