"It’s not the general public’s fault that we are so credulous, so willing, so desperate, to believe in AI. We are literally being hyped into it. The AIs themselves are designed to maintain the illusion, with humanising, anthropomorphic language. 'I apologise. I made a careless error. I should be more careful.' "

Because otherwise you wind up with the kind of situation where you force someone with a badly injured knee that can barely hold any weight to hobble from the doorway of the mri room over to the machine with zero support. Causing, at best, severe pain. At worst, exacerbation of the injury. ffs.

Assume systems will fail. Assume people will forget stuff. Assume things that are expected to happen, or be a certain way, will sometimes not happen or be different. Always have backups and workarounds ready.

In my #pyconAU keynote I referred to LLMs as "Regurgitative AI" rather than generative. Someone in the discord then commented that "regurgitative AI sounds like a horrific disease" and... you know... if the shoe fits...

Years ago, while worrying about climate change, I took both comfort and alarm from the idea that there would come a point where everything climate scientists had been predicting for decades would come to pass, and no one would be able to ignore climate science or dismiss climate change anymore. At that point, surely, we would act, and act fast. That, if nothing else, would be our tipping point. Yet here we are.
