I have no idea how you think “ they probably could have” sounds any better, or how it makes your argument stronger at all. If we can apply AI to these situation

  > I have no idea how you think “they probably could have” sounds any better, or how it makes your argument stronger at all. When I talk about "can" I'm talking about in the medium future or further, not what anyone is using or developing right now. It's "can someday" not "could have". > If we can apply AI to these situations but shouldn’t, why even bother with your first comments? Because I dislike it when people conflate "this technology has flaws that make it hard to apply to x task" with "it is impossible for this category of technology to ever be useful at x task" And to be clear, I'm not saying "should" but I'm not saying "shouldn't" either, when it comes to unknown future versions of LLM technology. I'll make that decision later. The point is that the range of "can" is much wider than the range of "should", so when someone says "can't" about all future versions of a technology they need extra strong evidence.
