    Well, why did it not do it right the first time then? If the doublecheck gives a different result, then which is the right result? If I can ask the same question twice and I get two different answers, how I or the machine known which is the right answer? And if the machine knows, then why would it need to doublecheck? A machine can do it right the first time if it knows how, right?

      You said:

      As long as AI does not get it 100% right every time it is not touching my house. And yes, a professional doesn’t reach that rate either, but at least they know and doublecheck themselves and know how to fix things.

      Well, why didn’t the human professional not do it right the first time then? If it’s okay for a human professional to make mistakes because they can double check and fix their mistakes, why is not okay for machines to do likewise?

        Because a machine is expected to do it right the first time. Because it’s supposed to do the exact same thing everytime with the exact same input parameters. If you give it the exact same input every time and you get a different result every time it is not reliable to function as automation.

        Humans are just that. Humans. They make mistakes sometimes. The reason humans can keep doing the work is that there is no better alternative. Machines can’t do it, so who else is gonna do it? Either humans build your house or nobody does. There is little choice there.

        So if a machine is to take over that job, it better do it right and reliable and cheaper.Because humans can already do it right and reliable. And there’s little money saving if a human still needs to check all the work.

          No, it’s not. And it doesn’t have to because as I pointed out it can check its work.

          You’ve got a mistaken impression of how AI works, and how machines in general work. They can make mistakes and can recognize and correct those mistakes. I’m a programmer, I have plenty of first hand experience. I’ve written code that does it myself.

          So if a machine is to take over that job, it better do it right and reliable and cheaper.

          Yes, that’s the plan.
