That and the not completely open source development model is what has always felt very vaporwary to me.
Actualy most statistical models can "hallucinate", specifically those that are capable of interpolation.
I have witnessed this for example in Gaussian Processes. In my own scientific work.
My bad on the EEG i thought that stopped since I do not pay it anymore directly.
The evidence does not point to this. There have been copious amounts of movies that hired the Rock and then made the worst CGI in the history of Cinema.
There is however a significant difference in how the fallout of this dumb shit affects people. Powerful people may do dumb shit and then due to the power sweep the consequences away from themselves. While everyone else would have had to face these consequences.
And thats the fundamental issue. Too much power allows dumb decisions to stand unchallenged, and removes the possibility for self correction (due to consequences). Which is fundamentally why the power of singular people needs to be limited.
