    ...the user tried to speak to employees and managers at the Hertz counter, but none were able to help, and all "pointed fingers at the 'AI scanner.'"
    

    This is literally my worst fear with AI, the off loading of responsibility. “I can’t do anything, the AI said you aren’t allegeable for surgery.” Or “The AI told us to bomb that town, it’s not my problem.”

      Imho this is a bigger reason huge companies are developing AI than the actual AI abilities.

      They’ll finally be able to do whatever the fuck they want by simply pointing to the system and going “It’s AI, we don’t know how it works either!”. Which is absolute bullshit.

        Yes this is literally the entire point.

        So people can shrug and go ‘I dunno, thats what the machine said,’ and then all possible recourse or negotiation stops.

        … and what starts is our descent in WH40K style mystical reverence for the machine spirit, as all the remaining actually tech competent people are either forced into servitude or killed as heretics.

      Want the Butlerian Jihad? That’s how you get the Butlerian Jihad.

      We see it right here. Any mention of AI’s positive use cases, Hulk smash!

      And one doesn’t even need to interact with AI or have a technical background. Look at the people staring down jacked-up power rates or seeing their forests torn down or seeing AI pollute their cities. Where are all the nut cases attacking transformer stations? I got a new target for 'em.
