I keep circling this with AI and I'm not really sure what to do with it. They mention that the AI is meant to be used as reference only in the linked article but what does that actually mean? Who is checking who? Is the AI filling out the data from what it sees in the PDF and the user is expected to check it or is the user filling out the data and the AI is expected to check it?
Is the cost of AI useful if all you're doing is something like 'linting' the extraction? How do you guarantee that people really, truly, are doing the same work as before and not just blindly clicking 'looks good'. What is the value of the AI telling you something when you cannot tell if it is lying?
Yeah, I've seen this "for reference only" wording in many places, often used as a sort of disclaimer on stuff that could be wrong, but I have absolutely no idea what it means in that context. To me "reference" implies comprehensive, high quality information that I can refer to when I need to know some obscure detail of something.
Is there some legal context in which this phrase has a specific meaning, perhaps?
