β€œUnlike human intelligence, it lacks the humility to acknowledge uncertainty...When unsure, it doesn’t defer to deeper research or human oversight; instead, it often presents estimates as facts.”

They present it as a deep thing, but this is just "point estimates have limitations". Which, duh?

They were never really in it

"Garmin does not disclose the calculations it uses to work out the body battery score, though he suspected it was a combination of a pulse measurement and activity levels."
