A discussion thread argues that the real problem is the cost of verification.
- The point: when AI-generated output looks enough like human output, it becomes expensive to tell what is true.
- The reply adds a sharper take: math is different because it is more verifiable, while many other fields already produce messy human output with weak evaluation criteria.
- The thread frames AI quality not as a raw generation problem, but as a downstream validation problem.
