The week's question

The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

"AI systems can and will exhibit the exact same failure mode. Any AI model attempting to process more inputs than a human can MAY synthesize additional "knowledge" to feed back into its "decisions" but such intelligence may still reflect the blind spots of the first humans who influenced its zero-generation incarnation and will still likely result in failures."
