Should an AI agent's cost budget be a hard limit or a prediction?

One thing I've been thinking about while building tooling for AI agents is that a budget and a cost estimate solve two very different problems.

A budget tells you what you're willing to spend. A prediction tells you what a task is likely to cost. Neither guarantees that the task will finish within that amount.

What's the most confidently wrong answer AI has given you about your data?

I'm not talking about the obviously ridiculous AI hallucinations. I'm talking about those answers that looked completely believable until someone actually checked the numbers.

Maybe it was a calculation, a misleading chart, or a metric that meant something entirely different from what the AI assumed. What happened, and how did you catch it?
