THE DANGER OF BORROWED AI CERTAINTY
Summary from the TLDR AI newsletter

Developers often mistake AI's fluency for validity, risking decisions based on unearned certainty. Best practices include treating AI output as a hypothesis, demanding traceability, ensuring human understanding, and pairing AI with execution feedback.
