Allie Miller: AI already shows judgment — you trust it every day without noticing
alliekmiller · x · 2026-11-11
AI creator Allie Miller pushes back on the claim that AI lacks judgment, with everyday examples:
- Asking it to find an apartment and it goes to Zillow — that's judgment.
- Getting only a few slides for a rushed dense-topic deck for your boss — judgment.
- It adds 1-2 emojis to match a 7-year-old's email style — judgment.
Her core argument: probabilistic models reasoning through infinite options toward a goal demonstrate judgment, whether or not AI is literally "judging" — a nuance for researchers. She concedes human judgment in one's own field may still be better or wider.
