AI’s Strengths Require Human Oversight
While AI has the power to process vast amounts of data, it still requires a personal touch. It needs human input and ongoing quality control to function correctly. For example, the NBA used AI in 2024 to optimize their schedule, but human experts first spent hundreds of hours inputting variables and adjusting parameters. As Tim Acona puts it, “I think there’s a lot that that AI can do, but it requires the right input and selective analysis of the output.”

Why AI Hallucinations Are a Real Concern
One of AI’s biggest challenges is its tendency to produce misleading or false information, known as “AI hallucinations.” A striking example comes from a viral New York Times story, where a lawyer of 30 years faced professional sanctions after relying on ChatGPT to draft a legal brief. The AI-generated brief cited several fabricated cases, leading to professional sanctions against the lawyer upon discovery.
According to a 2024 Stanford study, AI models hallucinate nearly 75% of the time when asked about court rulings. As Mark Perez emphasizes, “Somebody’s got to be doing quality control on it, because who knows what’s going to come out of it.”
Human Creativity Is Key in Custom Software Development
AI has the power to revolutionize custom software development by automating coding tasks, allowing non-technical users to create applications faster. But true innovation requires human creativity—especially when it comes to design and understanding business needs. As Acona explains, “The trick to good, custom software is not [just] good development—it’s good design. And sometimes good design is good question asking. Asking the right questions will always set the best applications apart.”
Key Takeaways: The Limits of AI
- Human Oversight is Critical: AI still needs human supervision, especially in complex fields like law, healthcare, and software development.
- Hallucinations Happen: AI can generate misleading data, making quality control essential.
- AI in Custom Software Development: AI may take over coding, but human insight and design will determine which applications succeed.
