That first sentence of yours explains exactly why it is so ridiculous. If only AI can understand it, how is there any assurance that AI will "correct" it's behavior that is aligned with what humans presumably want.
It’s not hard to get LLM’s to inform on each other. They don’t really do loyalty.
Being less smart gives no assurance that it will be aligned. At least you consider it a problem so we're on the same page!
But also what is the evidence that something only AI can understand even “matters” or makes sense? I’m increasingly convinced commercial AI is exploiting our logical blind spot to be spoken to authoritatively.
