    If a pilot of a plane told me that they catch any critical errors they make 89% of the time, I would NOT get on that fucking plane.

      Yeah but if I were buying cheap corn and they said 89% of the ears were good, I would still buy the corn. So is AI airplanes or corn?

        That’s not entirely the same thing. It says it catches 89% of HARMFUL actions. That means that 11% of the time it doesn’t.

        That’s more like if the corn had a parasite on it that could give you explosive diarrhea 11% of the time. Would you still eat the corn?

        Also, in my example, I didn’t say the harmful actions of the pilot resulted in a crash. However, that doesn’t mean it couldn’t. How many of those 11% of the time are the “woops I deleted the production database” stories we hear all the time?
