> a plausible sounding but incorrect answer

That is an incorrect but plausible hypothesis. Do you really think that people can't make such mistakes?

If you want to say that people have understanding, then define understanding in an operationalizable way first.

It doesn't mean that I would recommend a general-purpose AI model without additional training to do a fault analysis.

Where did I say that? You just pulled that out of nowhere and then refuted it - strawman https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man

  • > it would hallucinate a plausible sounding but incorrect answer

    "Hallucinate" as used in this context does not apply to humans and presupposes a qualitative difference.

    • I was saying that an AI would more likely hallucinate an incorrect answer than correctly diagnose the root cause failure. At no time was I comparing an AI to a human, thats the bit you made up.
