For a change this isn’t even degenerative AI that’s fucking up people’s lives. Straight up facial recognition paired with rising fascism gives an innocent man, one the system acknowledges is innocent, a criminal record.

Because of AI.

Note how both the cop and the mall cop assume AI is magic and thus ignore the myriad of countering pieces of evidence.

    Cops love technology like this. They can push responsibility to a piece of software and can just go “but the ai says so, I’m just following orders” and even the chief can go “it’s not their fault they got the wrong person, it’s the fault of the ai” and then continue using the faulty software.

    are we going to bring up how Israel has been using AI (the gospel) to fabricate targets and then use another AI (where’s daddy) to maximise civilian casualties?

    Using AI like villains in a marvel movies isn’t a theoretical thing. it’s already happening.

    This is going to happen hundreds of times daily in the near future and it will be accepted as normal. Cmv.

    It’s funny (as in absurd for those that don’t know words have different meanings) that he had slight doubts at the end, but still trusted the software.

    i thought this was going to be because of those dumb yt prank channels that are now filming people in public making AI videos of them doing weird shit, even SA, and reporting them to staff and the “victim” all to ‘bring awareness of the power of AI’ and not take advantage of the elderly and those unaware of AI, for profit.
