| I think where things go haywire is that it made a decision at all. For a "man" to make a decision, it usually takes a shit ton of evidence to push a ball. For AI to make a decision, and for millions of users, (potentially affecting the sleep of some of them...) it usually doesn't take anything at all other than some stupid trigger. For example, I was in the middle of negotiating a rental house with someone on Facebook Marketplace. Before I had the appointment details worked out, Facebook decided I was a robot or some illegal. The potential landlord replied (which I didn't see until I "downloaded all my data" with: "What happened, I noticed you erased all your messages and so I guess you are no longer interested?" Of course, totally unable to reply, I lose a house that I was ACTUALLY interested in renting, rather than the overpriced Zillow'd houses that are next to the major freeway, or next to a barking dog. And so I lost sleep. Thanks AI. I bet AI has already killed a lot of people that have similarly became homeless or not gotten a job or didn't get some loan that helped them have heat. Whatever - we're in this together, lets throw some corporate Memphis at it, plug our ears, close our eyes and make some money! |
