Anecdotal 2¢: This is very accurate in my experience. Basically every time I talk to someone outside of tech/alignment about AI risk, I have to go through the whole “we don’t know what algorithms the AI is running to do what it does. Yes, really.” thing. Every time I skip this accidentally, I realize after a while that this is where a lot of confusion is coming from.
