"Humans make math errors, yet they do math anyway, therefore this calculator that makes errors is also OK."

What do you call the fallacy where the universe is imperfect, therefore nobody can have higher standards for anything?

Mankind has spent literal centuries observing deficiencies and faults in human bookkeeping and calculation, constantly trying to improve it with processes and machinery. There's no good reason to suddenly stop caring about those issues simply because the latest proposal is marketed as "AI".



It can interact with deterministic and provable systems just fine.
