Accuracy and precision are alike only in the fact that they both refer to the quality of measurement, but they are very different indicators of measurement.Accuracy is the degree of closeness to true value. Precision is the degree to which an instrument or process will repeat the same value. In other words, accuracy is the degree of veracity while precision is the degree of reproducibility.
It blew my mind when I learned that there is actually a difference between these two words. I think I learned about this when I took a course about NLP in university and we had to write our own chatbots and benchmark them.
It's also similar to how some people use efficiency and effectiveness interchangeably even though there is a difference. Finding and explaining the difference in the comments is left as an exercise to the reader.
Do you know more words that are use interchangeably but are actually different?
