Forgive the smelly domain.

This is a fantastic short essay by Rich Hickey.

It's a matter of degrees, and of use case.

If your use case demands 100% accuracy, that's a dead end.

If you can't validate the output, then you need to go back to the drawing board.

I keep going back to the same rule of thumb: if you can't do it without AI, you can't do it, period. It's a time saver, not a magic wand.
