I suspect that humans have an accuracy lower than 99.999%, and are similarly capable of producing confidently incorrect results.

GPT has a lot of hype and hysteria around it, but demanding 100% accuracy from it is a bit over the top imo. It doesn't need to have 100% accuracy on any arbitrary prompt in order to be a useful and valuable tool.

Yet anything less than represents a danger. Never underestimate stupid.

Yes. WE have a higher standard for computers. But humans produce a ton of bull shit answers. Are we trying to produce an 'answer machine' or a 'human mimic'. Because the bull shit makes it more human. And a wrong answer does not mean it's broken, what goes on in its neural net to produce a confident wrong answer might be similar to our own.
