pro tip for AI enthusiasts who want people to stop being mean to them: maybe stop talking about how it's going to take everybody's jobs all the time (and if you really do believe that, then 1. consider how that'll come off to the people whose jobs will be lost and 2. become a UBI stan)

I tell such people that my job involves accepting personal accountability and contractual liability for the things I say being accurate, something that the AI boosters have been notably slow even to acknowledge as a legitimate job function, let alone to claim to be able to replace

I mean, yes, but also in some fields this is why practitioners are required to carry malpractice insurance and/or their professional regulatory bodies maintain client security funds to compensate malpractice victims. Things that AI developers absolutely don't want to be on the hook for.

It's a time-saver, a game-changer, a replacement for dumb humans until somebody has a civil tort claim or potentially even a criminal complaint, and then it's "this is still under development" and "you should've read the EULA more closely."

It's definitely gonna take real life example cases of consequences for stuff like this to actually get AI people to take that issue seriously
