It is more than a big deal and more than just accuracy. It is essentially trust and transparent decision making which is what the AI hype squad doesn't tell us.

It is the reason why there is little to no application of AI models in the most serious of use-cases, especially in high risk environment(s) like transportation, finance, medical systems, legal applications. Even if there are, they are either extremely limited or have to be forced to comply with very strict regulations due to their untrustworthiness. There is a lot of money and lives at risk here if it goes wrong.

Tesla FSD is a great example of this and I guarantee that not many here trust the system to safely drive them without their hands on the wheel, end-to-end every day since it can get confused without explanation as to why it hallucinates. Not even Wall Street trusts AI black-boxes like ChatGPT to use it which also regularly hallucinates its answers [0]. Once again, even if they do use it, is in a very limited non-serious applications.

As you can see, it especially affects 'deep neural networks' in general which is what FSD and ChatGPT use and their black box nature makes their outputs highly suspicious and untrustworthy for anything serious. Hence the influx of 'chatbots', BS generators, etc on the internet.
