    yet you need these masses of input for the technology to exist. the business models that base on the technology aren’t sustainable even without payment of the input data.

      Do we really need this technology to exist though? It’s unreliable and very niche as far as I have seen.

      People say that it speeds up certain tasks, but it’s so unreliable that you need to error-check the whole thing afterwards.

        It’s a new technology barely out of infancy. Of course it’s unreliable and niche. You could say the same thing about any technological advance in history.

          The very nature of how it functions is unreliable. It’s a statistical probabilistic model. It’s great for what it was designed to do but imagining that it has any way of rationalising data is purely that, just imagination. Even if let’s say we accept that it makes an error rate at the same rate as humans do (if it can even identify an error reliably), there’s no accountability in place that ensures that it would check the correctness like a human would.
