I came across a post that uses the analogy of “an actor playing a surgeon” to describe LLMs. (Post link: https://mastodon.social/@[email protected]/115719385222355274

Here are my thoughts:

This is an excellent analogy. It effectively conveys the point that specific dangers exist. While this warns users about the limitations of AI, it should not be the primary reason to abandon AI completely.

The mere existence of a possibility does not mean it is the general rule. Just as people don't invest all their money in lottery tickets simply because there's a chance to win, we shouldn't judge AI solely on its potential errors.

To make informed decisions, we must consider the issue of “degree” (or probability). This is a crucial nuance that this analogy misses.
