I think the question then is what's the human error rate... We know we're not perfect... So if you're 100% rested and only have to find the edge case bug, maybe you'll usually find it vs you're burned out getting it 98% of the way there and fail to see the 2% of the time bugs... Wording here is tricky to explain but I think what we'll find is this helps us get that much closer... Of course when you spend your time building out 98% of the thing you have sometimes a deeper understanding of it so finding the 2% edge case is easier/faster but only time will tell


The problem with this spreadsheet task is that you don't know whether you got only 2% wrong (just rounded some numbers) or way more (e.g. did it get confused and mistook a 2023 PDF with one from 1993?), and checking things yourself is still quite tedious unless there's good support for this in the tool.

At least with humans you have things like reputation (has this person been reliable) or if you did things yourself, you have some good idea of how diligent you've been.


Would be insane to expect an ai to just match us right…nooooo if it pertains computers/automation/ai it needs to be beyond perfect.


Right? Why are we giving grace to a damn computer as if it's human? How are people defending this? If it's a computer, I don't care how intelligent it is. 98% right is actually unacceptable.
