This is a reading note, not a paddling trip report. If a club volunteer uses an agent to turn rough notes into a report, where would they start learning what to trust?

The explanations of how language models work and why they hallucinate are a useful place to begin. Evgenii Arsentev (linkedin.com/in/jake-ars), an AI transformation executive, covers those questions for non-programmers working with AI agents and software automation. That is a helpful starting point for someone interested in vibe coding who has never written software.

His wording is "no agent ships alone". For this trip-report archive, I would keep the distinction simple: a draft is something to check against the paddling notes, not evidence that a trip happened. No river conditions or journey are being reported here.
