Comment on AI error jails innocent grandmother for months in North Dakota fraud case

What kind of fucking court would accept AI output as evidence, even for probable cause? Where has it ever been validated? What are the documented Type 1 and Type 2 error rates in independent peer-reviewed tests? Where is the output that gives the rationale for why it said there was a match? Because without that, there’s no more reason to believe it than a Magic 8-Ball.
According to the court documents, the Fargo detective working the case then looked at Lipps’ social media accounts and Tennessee driver’s license photo.
In his charging document, the detective wrote that Lipps appeared to be the suspect based on facial features, body type and hairstyle and color.
Seems like a possibility the detective could have conveniently “forgot” to mention that the initial identification was by AI.
And holy shit, she’s 50? That’s three miles of bad Tennesee road.
Alcohol can be rough on the body.

doesn’t sound like a court was even involved. per the article, she was held in jail 5 months before even being interviewed by police. that sounds entirely unconstitutional?? how does that even happen? like someone said below, i hope she is able to sue for millions. this is insane

Well its possible because we have a constitutional right to a speedy and quick trial in the united states.
So, since it is a constitutional right they get to shit all over it and do whatever the fuck they want to us anyway.

The Constitution has never once showed up to save anyone. People show up to save the constitution. Or they don’t.
