There is an issue of which precise baselines should be used for comparison between climate change and SAI.
“There is also the issue of which precise baselines should be used for comparison (McLaren, 2018): what should climate change or SAI be specifically compared against?”

SAI will not necessarily perfectly result in desired design outcomes.
“nor will SAI necessarily perfectly result in desired 'design' outcomes (Wiertz, 2016; McLaren, 2018).”

Neatly framed and optimized objectives found in modeling will not necessarily be reflected in messy and contested real-life preferences.
“Neatly framed and optimized objectives found in modeling will not necessarily be reflected in messy and contested real life preferences, nor will SAI necessarily perfectly result in desired 'design' outcomes (Wiertz, 2016; McLaren, 2018).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
