How does it know when to ask? You give it rules, but those rules can
be somehow imperfect. How are its actions monitored and sanctioned?
And hopefully it's clear that we are now far from mathematical proof.

Adding is simple, proving is not. Especially when the rules, goals,
and constraints are not arithmetic but ontological and normative
statements. Wether by NL or formal system, it's error-prone to
specify our knowledge of the world (much of it is implicit) and
teach it to the AGI. It's similar to law which is similar to math
with referenced axioms and definitions and a substitution process.
You often find flaws--most are harmless, some are not.

Proofs give us islands of certainty in an explored sea within the
ocean of the possible. We end up with heuristics. That's what this
discussion is about, when I remember right. :)
