  What a serious AI product should include

  The article argues that current LLM-based products do not take their own limitations seriously, especially around reliability and verification. It proposes that a more serious AI product would make checking claims a first-class workflow feature, rather than leaving verification to small disclaimers and the user’s discretion.
