AI Products Ignore Their Own Warnings—Here’s What a Serious One Would Do
What Would a Serious AI Product Look Like?
Every AI tool admits it can make mistakes, yet none give you real tools to check them. This post argues that serious AI products would make error-checking a first-class feature, present citations as primary sources, ban first-person apologies, offer task-specific interfaces, and expose data provenance and reproducibility controls. Without these, they feel less like software and more like a grift.
If your product tells me that it makes mistakes and I must be the one to check for the mistakes, but then gives me zero tools to check for mistakes, I cannot take it seriously.
