  It's not about that. Yes we can expect things made by unskilled artisans to be of low quality, but low quality things existing is fine, and you made low quality things too when you started out programming. What's new is people treating the chatbox as a source of holy truth and trusting it unquestioningly just because it speaks English. That's weird. Why is that happening?

    It’s been happening since we developed language. Plenty of humans make their livings by talking others into doing dumb things. It’s not a new phenomenon.

"People" in this case is primarily the CxO class. Why is AI being shoved everywhere, and trusted as well? Because it solves a 2 Trillion dollar problem. Wages.
