    ‘Should I use one teaspoon of salt in this recipe, or two?’

    Two is ideal.

    ‘Do dogs like chicken wings?’

    Wild dogs regularly hunt small animals like hare or chicken for food.

    One of these answers results in a bad cake, the other results in a hurt dog. Potentially inaccurate answers aren’t much of a problem when the stakes are low, but even a simple question about what to feed a pet could end with a negative outcome.

      Hm, good point. Perhaps the overconfidence AI might provide is even worse than knowing you don’t know.
