Wow, they are using AI as some sort of fact machine. We (the general public) already know this is extremely incompetent, but they don’t care.

At least precedent is building and hopefully soon unscrupulous use of facial recognition AI by the police will be enough to convince courts to have a serious second look at the evidence. But the people who are affected now may be imprisoned falsely, that is awful.

It reminds me of that case where police somewhere in the US arrested a person who Google told them was in proximity of a crime at least once, without any real evidence. It is baffling they use these technological 8-balls as fact machines. An 8-ball would be more energy efficient and have better ergonomics, at this point. I hope they are not considering it, but my Llama2 says they are and that’s a fact after all by their measure, isn’t it?

The inaccuracy is a feature, not a bug. Police have always wanted the power to arrest who they want, when they want.

AI, like drug-sniffing dogs before it provides them the plausible deniability to do so.

Drug sniffing dogs hallucinate far less than Ai
