Honestly I agree. Humans make errors all the time. Perfection is not necessary and requiring perfection blocks deployment of systems that represent a substantial improvement over the status quo despite their imperfections.

The problem is a matter of degree. These models are substantially less reliable than humans and far below the threshold of acceptability in most tasks.

Also, it seems to me that AI can and will surpass the reliability of humans by a lot. Probably not by simply scaling up further or by clever prompting, although those will help, but by new architectures and training techniques. Gemini represents no progress in that direction as far as I can see.
