Sometimes AI reminds me of my younger self — confidently wrong.
I once asked an AI to explain something it clearly didn’t understand.
It replied with total certainty, fancy words, and zero hesitation.
To be fair, that’s exactly how I sounded in my first decade of coding.
Maybe the upgrade we need isn’t more data — it’s teaching AI to say,
“I’m not sure, but here’s a guess.”
Do you think humility belongs in machine learning?

Absolutely — I'd say especially so.
Great call out! I think this is needed. There are too many folks who just blindly use the slop they're given.
Install patch: vHumility. Fixes “confidently wrong” bug with a “maybe” feature.
The AI is very sure but the provider always reminds that they can be wrong.
AI is really competent in subjects I know nothing of.
