Chances are you've heard that methane leaks make natural gas worse for the climate than we've been led to believe. And yet many of us still think of gas as the "clean" fossil fuel. That didn't happen by accident.

In most applications, I think use of AI is driven less by the promise of improved outcomes than the capacity to present a choice as authoritative or rational in a way that is beyond criticism. Basically, the idea that because something is derived from AI it must be right.
