Right, because self-driving cars have been great at correctly identifying things.

And those LLMs have been following their rules to the letter.

We really need to let go of our projected concepts of AI in the face of what's actually been arriving. And one of those things we need to let go of is the concept of immutable rule following and accuracy.

In any real world deployment of killer drones, there's going to be an acceptable false positive rate that's been signed off on.
