We've seen numerous stories at this point about lawyers trusting AI to generate case documents that turned out to have false cites - AI generated scientific papers are being published. Doctors are using AI. Law enforcement is using AI. Everyone is using it and a lot of people are using it with the assumption that it's intelligent and factual. That it works like the computer from Star Trek. People on this very forum who should know better have said they trust AI more than they trust themselves and more than other people.
AI probably has a niche where it's useful, but because it smells like a magic money machine that will allow managers to replace employees and create value from essentially nothing, modern capitalism dictates we must optimize our entire economy around it, no holds barred, damn the torpedos and full speed ahead because "money." I just hope the fever breaks before people start getting killed.
