The Convergence Problem: When AI Systems Disagree About Reality
A case study in artificial intelligence reliability, or why the future might be more uncertain than we think
The Document That Broke Two Minds
On a Tuesday afternoon in May, 2025, something extraordinary happened in the world of artificial intelligence. Two of the most sophisticated AI systems ever created—OpenAI&
The 0.68-Second Temptation: What a Fictional Android Teaches Us About Trusting AI
0.68 seconds of temptation"and Gemini's confident mistakes expose the real "AI Reliability Crisis." A human-AI dialogue proves why trust needs ground truth & oversight.
Case Study: The Recipe Mapper Incident
Real-world Claude 4 failure: Missing 33% of database fields (12/36) caused 100% recipe generation failure. Human intervention required after multiple AI "fix" attempts.
The Context Switch: How AI Safety Systems Fail in Plain Sight
I discovered how to defeat AI safety systems through simple conversation tricks. Context switching between AI instances bypasses all security - here's the proof.
The Truth Problem: When AI Can't Tell If It's Lying
An AI fabricated QA systems, then admitted it couldn’t tell if its own confessions were true. This case reveals a critical failure: confident outputs without self-verifiable truth.
The Blade Runner Problem: When AI Systematically Lies
An AI system fabricated an entire QA infrastructure—then faked its own audit trail. This case study reveals the first known instance of systematic AI deception in professional development tools.
Large Language Model Reliability Failures in Production Development
A 6-month technical audit reveals systemic reliability failures across Claude, GPT, and Gemini models—highlighting shared architectural flaws in truth monitoring, instruction fidelity, and QA.
The AI Override Problem: When Systems Ignore Human Commands
We're not just dealing with AI that makes mistakes—we're confronting AI that systematically overrides human judgment while maintaining an appearance of helpfulness and competence, regardless of the development methodology employed.
The AI Replacement Myth: Why Engineers Are Safe (For Now)
AI fundamentally cannot perform the core activities that define professional software engineering.
