Quotables:

• “Everything these AI models do is a hallucination, it’s not malfunctioning it’s functioning normally and the amazing thing is how often it is correct, not how often it is wrong.”
• “The moral of the story is check your work, in one sense you have the world’s most capable and also the most naive intern ever, who is fluent in all these languages and knowledge but can make elementary mistakes so check your work.”
• “The real power comes when the human team is helping the AI and the AI is helping the human team. So if you do the work of putting in the master template you’ve helped isolate down to the really good text to base from.”
