Fact check
“AI labs say they are learning from earlier mistakes.”
Reasoning
One excerpt from The Verge article states that AI labs claim they are learning from earlier mistakes, directly supporting the claim. Another excerpt from the same article reports that mathematicians say OpenAI appears to have learned little from its mistakes, contradicting the claim. The presence of both supporting and contradicting evidence prevents a clear verification.
On confidence: The evidence contains both a supporting statement and a contradicting statement from the same source, indicating mixed messaging.
Important context
Both pieces of evidence come from the same article on The Verge, reflecting differing perspectives within the piece—one presenting the labs' own statements and another presenting external criticism.
