17 May 2023 - high standard
< yesterday --
tomorrow >
Machines are held to a higher standard than humans. A human driver has
to be grossly negligent before they are taken off the road; a
self-driving car's rare individual accidents raise alarm. Humans
struggle to know their own consensus truth; chatbots are blamed if they
come out with the odd factoid. If we thought crummy robots were cool,
we'd be OK, but with high standards... yeah, humans are getting
replaced.
