AI's Assumption-Making Capability Contrasted with Explicit Computing

The concept of a "Sophisticated Assumption-Making Machine" is explored, contrasting it with traditional computing disciplines like compilers and stylesheets. These traditional tools enforce explicitness by providing exactly what is specified, leaving no room for assumptions. This contrasts with AI systems that can make assumptions, a capability that requires building new disciplines around trust and ethical considerations. AI
