Pundit ClaimsAI claims by Gary Marcus and Ed Zitron, with the evidence

“Either we say no, take these agents off the market till you fix them, or we’ve lost all moral authority. And so I think this is the decisive moment in developing AI.”

Report from the Vatican, paragraph 48.

Our reading:

This is the decisive moment in AI development: either agents are pulled until fixed or society loses moral authority.

Assessment: Can’t be checked

Why it can’t be checked
