People make a big deal out of this but they forget humans will make shit up all the time.

Yeah but humans can use critical thinking, even on themselves when they make shit up. I've definitely said something and then thought to myself "wait that doesn't make sense for x reason, that can't be right" and then I research and correct myself.

AI is incapable of this.

You're just being victim of your own biases. You only notice that was the case when you were successful in Detecting your hallucinations. You wouldn't know if you made stuff up by accident and nobody noticed, not even you.

Whereas we are checking 100% of th AI responses, do we check 100% of our responses?

Sure it's not the same thing or AI might do more,, but the problem is your example. Where people think they are infallible because of their biases. when it's not the case at all. We are imperfect, and we overlook our shortcomings possibly foregoing a better solution because of this. Because we measure the AI objectively, but we don't measure what we compare it to.

I never said we always question ourselves I just said that AI can't so your entire reply doesn't apply here
