alt Hacker NewsSure, where's the line?
If you want to tell me that llms are inherently non-deterministic, then sure, but from the point of view of a user, a saw stop activating because the wood is wet is really not expected either.

Yes, cutting wet wood on the sawstop sucks, but I put up with it. If clicking 'close' on the wrong tab amputated a finger, I'd also put up with it. However, I've closed plenty of tabs accidentally, and all my fingers are still attached.

Mm yeah, I see the point you're making.
(Though, of course, there certainly are people who dislike sawstop for that sort of reason, as well.)
also from the point of view from a user: in this example, while frustrating/possibly costly, a false positive is infinitely preferable to a false negative.
