> ... the checklist is the most effective system of preventing errors, so effective that pilots and surgeons use checklists routinely when they fly and operate. (When I had a recent biopsy, I noticed the surgeon and nurses clearly following checklists as they confirmed the site for the procedure before anesthetizing me, checked my identification bracelet and asked my name and date of birth.)

Suddenly I'm picturing a new world in which we knowledge workers all have our own personal wikis and carefully go through a checklist for all new info we add to it. Not only "is this AI?" but a general sanity check too.
