Allie K. Miller argues AI already shows judgment in everyday tasks

AIAllie K. Miller says AI shows judgment, citing choices such as picking Zillow over a dubious apartment site and limiting a slideshow to a few slides. She adds that people already rely on this displayed judgment, though she leaves open whether AI is literally judging.

Stop saying AI doesn’t show judgment.

Of course it shows judgment.

And actually, you already trust some of its judgment.

When you ask it to find you an apartment and it goes on Zillow and not http://thisapartmentsucks.com, that is judgment.

When you ask it to make you a slideshow for a quick presentation to your boss on an extremely dense topic, it will only provide a few slides. That is judgment.

When you’re replying to a question from a 7-year-old and their email is filled with emojis, and the AI writes like you but adds 1-2 emojis to better match the inbound email, that is judgment.

Probabilistic models reasoning through infinite options toward a goal is “judgment”, though I’m not saying whether AI is literally judging - just that it is showing it. Researchers can weigh in on that nuance.

Your personal judgment might be BETTER or WIDER, particularly if it’s in a field you are deeply familiar with, but let’s not pretend we don’t already partially rely on AI’s displayed judgment to get work done.
