> However, you're not going to want to look at yourself through your selfie camera with a filter that hides your imperfections when you're checking to see if something is stuck in your teeth on a date, don't you think?
No, but you definitely use it in all the pictures you put on dating apps
> Alternatively, perhaps we'll see models fine-tuned or steer-able towards accuracy that customers can themselves use to get a more honest view on what the product would look like in person.
we live in a world where the norm is to use filters on pictures of your own face to lie about how you look, imagine thinking than people actually care about truthness
Not even, this was deemed too insecure. So now we have to have one protocol per-use case instead of something that allows to handle easily all the use cases we already know exist - the most stupid thing possible

I've seen developers pushing code repeatedly to car engine firmware with for-loops that weren't even valid C syntax, have yet to see a modern LLM do this kind of mistake

just because whales exist does not mean feeding them is a goal to aim for as a society. 99.9% of technology could disappear tomorrow and life would become better.

No, that's the whole point. You let them bubble up to the top of the event loop and you report the error to the user. As a user, anything else leads to shitty software where the programmer tries to outsmart the world around them (and fails, obviously, leading to worse end-user experience than just admitting that you don't and can't have control over everything)
