I would be thrilled with AI assistive technologies, so long as they improve my capabilities and I can trust that they deliver the right answers. I don't want to second-guess every time I make a query. At minimum, it should tell me how confident it feels in the answer it provides.

How’s that work out for Dave Bowman? ;-)


Well you know, nothing's truly foolproof and incapable of error.

He just had to fall back upon his human wit in that specific instance, and everything worked out in the end.


Everything worked out, except HAL did kill Poole and the three defenseless scientists on board who were in suspended animation.


Of course, I just figured it was funnier without the /s or the spoilers.
