- swiftcoder 2y ago> Humans can tell you how confident they are in something being right or wrong Humans are also very confidently wrong a considerable portion of the time. Particularly about anything outside their direct expertise
- SketchySeaBeast 2y agoPeople only being willing to say they are unsure some of the time is still better than LLMs. I suppose, given that everything is outside of their area of expertise, it's very human of them.
- daveguy 2y agoThat's still better than never being able to make an accurate confidence assessment. The fact that this is worse outside your expertise is a main reason why expertise is so valued in hiring decisions.
