    Yeah but if I were buying cheap corn and they said 89% of the ears were good, I would still buy the corn. So is AI airplanes or corn?

      That’s not entirely the same thing. It says it catches 89% of HARMFUL actions. That means that 11% of the time it doesn’t.

      That’s more like if the corn had a parasite on it that could give you explosive diarrhea 11% of the time. Would you still eat the corn?

      Also, in my example, I didn’t say the harmful actions of the pilot resulted in a crash. However, that doesn’t mean it couldn’t. How many of those 11% of the time are the “woops I deleted the production database” stories we hear all the time?

      But if I was buying a bottle of water and they said 11% of the water might be contaminated, I’m not buying it. Same for corn, actually. In fact, if they know only 11% of the ears are bad, they should be able to tell me how they’re bad. If they can’t, then they really mean “untested” and that’s a no go from me.
