No, it wouldn't be different. Though it'd definitely be better to have a discernable algorithm / explicable set of rules for things like health care. Them shrugging their shoulders and saying they don't understand the "AI" should be completely unacceptable.
I wasn't saying AI = LLM either. Whatever drives Teslas is almost certainly not an LLM.
My point is half-baked software is already killing people daily, but because it's more dramatic to pontificate about the coming of skynet the "AI" people waste time on sci-fi nonsense scenarios instead of drawing any attention to that.
Fighting the ills bad software are already causing today would also do a lot to advance the cause of preventing bad software from reaching the imagined apocalyptic point in the future.
