“Autonomous systems don’t always fail loudly. It’s often silent failure at scale”
This is exactly what I'm experiencing.
However, this article is disingenuous, it is not that "AI systems" are doing "exactly what they are told to do".
I reality, they hallucinate, can't actually understand user intent and often fail to say "I don't understand" or "I can't do that"
Instead AI's confirm an operation that has actually failed.
These things are anything but intelligent.
