Summary
According to a post on X by @emollick, concern about verifying AI output for factual errors is outdated. He points to data that recent models beat human experts, including PhD specialists, at finding facts and checking claims. In a follow-up, he said humans may still need to check points of view and approaches, but checking AI work for mistakes is likely no longer their main job. A reply from @jasonfurman joked that human work should now carry a warning, but the quoted remark is cut off in the snippet.

The source does not name the data or tasks behind the comparison, so it is worth checking the underlying evaluation before changing review habits. Teams that rely on AI output should watch for published evidence.
