Now I’m frightened to my core.
AI doesn’t scare me.
People making decisions off of AI scare me.
The government mandating people use AI to make decisions frightens me to my core.
So far the Trump administration and the Federal government under him don’t need AI to justify stupid, globe-wrecking policy.
AI told me to do [wrongful action] is no more a valid excuse than I was just following orders. At least not to an international tribunal or a (seriously peckish) public.
It might not be but it gets that kind of play in the press (and, therefore, public opinion/support) as discussed in this Citations Needed podcast episode A.I. Mysticism as Responsibility-Evasion PR Tactic
I was gonna say, it certainly allows insurance companies to launder their original intentions as “oopsy, AI made us deny all those claims (we wanted to deny anyway), don’t be mad at us” and then people bitch about the bad AI causing all these issues instead of the insurance company who wanted the exact same outcome, regardless of AI.
All that said, I’m giving another recommendation that people go subscribe to Citations Needed.

AI should scare you. People will just dump everything on AI and then let it fuck over your life. What happens if AI flags you as a terrorist and your drivers license is suspended, or your health care is cancelled? What happens if AI says you’re fraudulently collecting social security? There’s nobody to blame, because they’ll just blame the computer.

That’s the crux of my statement, yes.
AI doesn’t scare me.
How people respond to it scares me
And that it’s being prepared to drive/copilot government agencies scares the everliving shit out of me.

You are both blind. Be scared of the combo and stfu. It’s evil people with software that helps them. It’s history all over again. Not complicated. Stop arguing and fucking stop them
