Attached bug-nets. All the overnight camping rigs I use also have rainflies when needed. 🌧️
Here are illustrative images from a recent trip…
Daytime Photo: My original no-name hammock (almost ten years old) on the left. It has a single spreader tentpole at the shoulder that works very well. Fly is rolled and "slacked" out of the way. Note the "snake skins" that let you pack/unpack everything in less than a minute!
On the right is a Kammok "Mantis" which is very good, but I'm not a fan of the supplied rainfly (it is more complex than it needs to be). No skins, no spreader either. 🙁
Nighttime Photo: The Mantis pitched under #mangroves. You can see the partially slacked rainfly.

You stated: <<What it actually says is "AI is _permitted_ to make mistakes; _you are liable_ for the results, whether you check them or not". Except "you" is generally not even the person building, installing, or even using the AI. It's the person the AI is used on.>>
Way back in the early 2000s, there was a system called "Dragon Dictate". The goal was to eliminate #human #transcriptionists with automated speech-to-text (sound familiar?) The system had to be trained on your voice and vocabulary. Once properly trained it could do a pretty good job, I'll guess 95-98%. It was better suited to output that was stereotyped (mostly the same), and structured (such as radiology reports and operative notes).
Regardless of how the note/report was generated, the professional who spoke the words had a obligation to at least scan the output and sign it (yes, with an ink pen!). Once signed it became part of the "legal medical record" open to misinterpretation, copying, lawsuits, etc. etc.
Once Dragon Dictate became routine (and they fired all the transcriptionists) I started to notice this little #disclaimer at the bottom:
"If portions of this note are confusing or indecipherable please feel free to call me with questions or concerns." Sounds a lot like #AI to me! I polite way to summarize this is:
👉 They were trying to force me to be their copy-editor. 👈
It cast the entire content in doubt.
Consider for a moment the difference between saying "The scan does not show cancer." and "The scan does show cancer." That "not" is doing a lot of work, and is very easy to miss when you're talking fast and never intend to read your own note ever again.
More subtle is the grammatical error in the first sentence. "This note was #dictated using Dragon text to speech recognition software." Either they changed their product name to "Dragon Text", in which case the capitalization is off. Or they transposed words and it should read "speech to text" or "speech recognition" with no text.
👉 In other words, they didn't even proof-read their own disclaimer! 😱

Do you believe in Santa Claus?
I know it’s not fashionable to praise or approve of remakes, but sometimes – every once in a while - they’re actually pretty good....

John Sturges – „The Great Escape“ (1963)
Ein amerikanischer Kriegsfilm, der insbesondere in Großbritannien zu einem ewigen Dauerläufer wurde – und das, ausgerechnet, zu Weihnachten. Keine Frage, alleine die Besetzung mit Steve McQueen, James Garner, Richard Attenborough, Charles Bronson, Donald Pleasence, James Coburn und Hannes Messemer ist selbst heutzutage noch ein Alleinstellungsmerkmal, das seinesgleichen sucht. (ARTE)
