society holds technology to standards it never applies to humans

kinda crazy how society holds technology & ppl to very different standards esp for quality & risk.

e.g. self driving cars have to be near perfect with zero risk when an average human driver is pretty horrendous. ai has to never hallucinate, be incredibly precise, write perfect prose without any patterns, & never make mistakes when the average human has off days, gets sick, & isn't even that good at these tasks in the first place etc.

in order to make progress, we need to forgive technology in the same way we often forgive humans. like we don't expect every human to be immaculate although i guess we do when we are looking for love.
