AI's Fixed Objectives
- Current AI systems have a fixed objective, requiring explicit instructions for every desired outcome.
- Unlike humans, they lack the common sense to consider implicit factors or prioritize objectives.
The $13 Coffee
- Humans possess common sense to deviate from instructions when appropriate, like questioning a $13 cup of coffee.
- AI currently lacks this flexibility, needing explicit objectives defined in advance.

- AI's lack of objective uncertainty can lead to undesired outcomes.
- Building AI systems that acknowledge their incomplete understanding of objectives could improve control.
