Yeah, you still need to give an AI's output an editing and review pass, especially if factual accuracy is important. But though some may mock the term "prompt engineering" there really are a bunch of tactics you can use when talking to an AI to get it to do a much better job. The most amusing one I've come across is that some AIs will produce better results if you offer to tip them $100 for a good output, even though there's no way to physically fulfill such a promise. The theory is that the AI's training data tended to have better stuff associated with situations where people paid for it, so when you tell the AI you're willing to pay it'll effectively go "ah, the user is expecting good quality."

You shouldn't have to worry about the really quirky stuff like that unless you're an AI power-user, but a simple request for high-quality output can go a long way. Assuming you want high quality output. You could also ask an AI for a "cheesy low-quality high-school essay riddled with malapropisms" on a subject, for example, and that would be a different sort of deviation from "average."

Self-driving? Better round up a mob and torch it.

They'd better not be training that AI on any potholes I helped create!

Your kid is also AI-generated, in that case.

Why bring it up then?

Uh-oh, you said something positive about Musk. I only said "maybe he's not as bad as it seems" and look where that got me.

Seems to me they continued to take actions in 2009 as a result of their loss in 2001. "Some overview" continued after the case was decided. Unless there was a subsequent court case I'm unaware of?

It actually did, solve it, unironically. The concern was that Microsoft was going to de facto take over the HTML standard and make it so that you had to use Internet Explorer and proprietary Microsoft extensions if you wanted to browse the web, eliminating all competition.

Now, more than 20 years later, Internet Explorer is defunct. Microsoft's current browser is built on Chromium, an open source engine that was created by one of its competitors. If anything it's Google that's now the problematic one.
