Not sure that's a universal truth. I've worked with people whose gut feeling was so wrong and at the same time their overconfidence in it was so high that it was impossible to get anything done. Heuristics only work if they apply to reality, and they have intrinsic limits too.
- rambambram 3y agoI never said everybody's gut feeling works as it should be. That's definitely not the case. I'm only saying one's gut feeling is one's only chance at telling the difference between real and fake in the situation described by OP. After you pin pointed your gut feeling, your rational mind can take it into account. Watch out for rationalizing your gut feeling away though (HN crowd is especially prone to this, all logical thinkers). So listen to and develop your gut feeling. We're going to need it with all the AI output.
