What's interesting is that humans who are confidently wrong usually have a tell — a slight pause, a hedge — AI has no such tell, which changes the verification burden entirely
Something about the way AI never says "actually, on reflection" makes the humans around it more responsible for building that reflection step into the process
Pascal BORNET The bear is dangerous. A confident hallucination telling you everything is under control might be even more dangerous. 😄
I plan to wash my car at a car wash located 20 metres from my home. Should I walk or drive?
There's a version of leadership development that should just be: practice disagreeing with things that sound authoritative, AI outputs make great training material
This is exactly why AI won’t replace human judgment anytime soon. It can process patterns insanely fast, but it still lacks something very human like situational instinct. A bear charging at you is not the moment for “balanced emotional guidance.” It’s the moment for survival-driven clarity. The danger isn’t AI being wrong but humans are wrong too. The danger is how confidently and fluently it can sound right while missing context completely.
There is a generation of junior employees forming their research instincts right now in environments where confident-sounding output is the norm, that's a slow-burn problem worth naming
The pivot to wellness advice after a wrong answer is the AI equivalent of changing the subject at a dinner party when someone calls out a bad take
Watching someone defend an AI's wrong answer because the tone was so assured is the new version of "but it's in a PowerPoint so it must be true"
There's a certain kind of meeting where AI output functions as a conversation-stopper rather than a conversation-starter and that's exactly backwards from how it should work
The bear 🐻 will always be quicker when You 😂 Ask more experts, if You would like to travel 🧳 to Canada 🇨🇦 😂
The gap between sounding right and being right has never been wider, and closing that gap is becoming one of the most underrated leadership competencies
Testament that an overrelliance on AI can easily be to ones detriment. Life lesson: stay confident and keep pivoting. AI has taught me that. Haha
Etinosa Noma-Osaghae That's a terrible trait to inherit or master. "I don't know", "I'm not sure", "I don't have enough data to comment on that specific part". These can be great traits in certain situations
Spot on, unfortunately! Even when you engineer it to be honest, you stll get waffling. Frustrating.
What's fascinating is how this mirrors overconfident humans in meetings — except we've built institutional skepticism for people, not yet for tools
The most dangerous answers aren't the ones that say "I don't know." They're the ones delivered with absolute certainty and just enough detail to sound credible.
100%. Even when I prove it wrong or that it contradicts itself, at best it just acknowledges my point and nothing happens. Does it actually learn?
Osama Sohail another way: ask AI to criticize itself. E.g. “Read this like you are evidence based medicine expert...” when you discuss a medical topic.
It's like asking a 10 year old how confident he is about string theory!! In his mind, the kid will always be confident and keep giving you more and more hallucinating/made up answers.
