I need to sharpen my BS sensor. At first glance, I struggled to parse the voice in the article. Going back to the article I can now see the obvious gaps. Generally, AI tends to say things that make us go - "what the hell is this" ? for example in the article "The Problem: Ordering Chaos" is a very weird way to phrase it. As a human I struggled to accept it, and I did by stretching the meaning of that phrase to world model where it made sense. ie, our tendency is to give wide leeway to what we read or see and be very "accepting" in that sense. Instead, i think a better option is to reject everything we see or read as the default.
