I agree that it would be a mistake to use something like this in something where people depend upon specific behaviour of the software. The only way we will get to the point where we can do this is by building things that don't quite work and then start fixing the problems. Like AI models themselves, where they fail is on problems that they couldn't even begin to attempt a short time ago. That loses track of the fact that we are still developing this technology. Premature deployment will always be fighting against people seeking a first mover advantage. People need to stay aware of that without critisising the field itself.

There are a subset of things that it would be ok to do this right now. Instances where the cost of utter failure is relatively low. For visual results the benchmark is often 'does it look right?' rather than 'Is it strictly accurate?"
