Wouldn't that be advocating suicide? Cause I'm pretty sure it's illegal to tell a person to kill themselves and actually mean it.
From the article, it's not telling people to kill themselves, it's simulating what an incapacitated patient would say to help the doctor and family members can make a decision on whether to resuscitate them or not. Incredibly misleading, of course, because AI involves no independent thought and is just a computer program guessing what someone would say based on things they've said in the past. Which I'm going to suggest might not be a good thing if that person has a history of depression.

We'll see if they do any better than Tesla at this...
Electronic Arts' efforts to utilize more generative AI in game development isn't going so smooth. Apparently, developers are having to spend as much, or more, time fixing the mess made by ReefGPT as the AI model MIGHT be saving in development time/resources.

Do you know why the big corporations want AI in ******* everything?
Increased efficiency, less mistakes, smaller footprints? Naw. It's so they can minimum wage jobs that require experience and degrees. Goodbye CPA, hello dude that can use google pretty good.
And just like with the brief rush of self checkouts, they will have to back pedal like their lives depended on it because there's a reason those jobs needed degrees in the first place.

I mean....self-checkouts are great for people like me who hate people and want to avoid interacting or talking as much as possible. Corporate AI serves no useful purpose, and in fact often causes more problems than it solves.
I think it's worse than that. I think they're just trying to inflate another gullible investor bubble because that's the only way to increase "value" these days. These companies don't know how to do anything anymore, and they're desperately trying to delay the inevitable exposure of this. It's not just about replacing employees to save money. They're already propped up more more by legacy and inertia than by anything their employees are actually doing.
This economy is fake. We're going to find out that it's more fake than we even imagine.

They do if they're designed to actually work. Problem I've seen with them is that they're always designed to appease paranoid execs who are convinced people are going to find a way to cheat them and get free stuff, so if you don't run the barcode past the scanner just right it immediately locks up and makes you wait for the one human they left to supervise all ten self-checkout aisles come confirm you're not a thief and let you try again. Which happens every time anyone tries to use them because they're finicky as hell. Whereas before, if the clerk misscanned it they'd just try again immediately, and after doing this day in and day out, they got enough practice that they would maybe misscan once or twice a day, tops, in the first place.
If self checkout actually worked, no one would have a problem with it. And it certainly wouldn't be prompting retailers to get rid of them.
