Yes cutting corners is the reality of the world, employees do it, management does it, public does it, private does it, union does it, everyone does.

And yes it does happen and is a necessity in plenty of cases. There is ways to make it safer, but everything has an inherent danger and nothing is ever 100% safe or have no risk. That’s just not possible, another reality of the world.

If the issue was with the AI, yeah you would it to be on AI instead of manual.
