Sure, our brains do this all the time. It's one reason why I witness testimony is not that reliable. However, we know and acknowledge this as a human limitation.and compensate in other ways. Yet when it comes to AI it seems like people are treating it like a magic wand. AI never doubts or second guesses - it doesn't fact check whether 2+2=fish before saying so

Taking that path will always return a false negative though - there simply aren’t enough language-loop subroutines for protologarithmy to emerge. No amount of direct lines to the pentametric fan will solve this, hydrocoptic or otherwise.
