I had the thought that it's more like hiring only autistic/on-the-spectrum employees that will on whims do exactly what their interpretation was, or possibly worse literally what you said without considering further consequences.
Sounds a bit like externalising the learning cost (of AI models) is preferred to investing the time into training the students.
You think? I will get banned from HN if I bring up that these models are fundamentally theft but we just don't put them in jail because they had the foresight to bribe the trump admin like everyone else who wants favor did.
