AI needs fixing. They'd better “hop” to
it!
@georgetakei
It doesn't need "fixing," it needs "dismantling."
@georgetakei yeah, letting imperfect AI models loose on the common population was a really bright idea…
@georgetakei if yah need to essentially double check AI generated reports... why not just have someone do the report in the first place?
@georgetakei ... I wonder if they will put AI in charge of deleting the body cam footage after it has made the report?
@georgetakei
2 questions:
(1) Why/How was the AI able to *know* what "shape shifting" is?
A?: Unless AI was programmed to know what "shape shifting" is.
Therefore,
(2) Why was AI programmed to *know* what "shape shifting" is??
Obviously, no one but the Human AI programmers know the details and Specific Code of AI programming.
THIS IS THE MAIN PROBLEM WITH Artificial Intelligent software.
It becomes DANGEROUS to humans unless & until it can be reviewed & reviewed & reviewed multiple times BEFORE it is allowed to operate on its own in all sectors of business & social situations.
Otherwise, the "Terminator" series becomes reality...
Thoughts??

@georgetakei
Yea that was fun. How about this:

'According to a recent investigation by the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Draft One “seems deliberately designed to avoid audits that could provide any accountability to the public.”'

Cops Forced to Explain Why AI Generated Police Report Claimed Officer Transformed Into Frog

AI-powered software Draft One automatically generates police reports from body camera footage. It thought an officer turned into a frog.

Futurism

@georgetakei "That's when we learned the importance of correcting these AI-generated reports"

What???? Only then?! Something this obvious didn't came to their mind before that?! This is not some BS startup using AI for their meeting minutes. This is the effing police. Aren't those people aware of the fact that police reports require to be accurate?! Don't they know what a halfway descent defence attorney will do with their stupid report in court?!

@georgetakei "That's when we learned the importance of correcting these AI-generated reports."

That is outrageous. Absolutely outrageous. That should have been the plan from the very start, right? Rather than reacting when their AI turns out to be as stupid as EVERYONE has been saying all along? It's not a secret after all.

How many people has this department damaged with bogus AI reports?

@georgetakei

The same problem AI has always had: it has no real world model. It doesn't understand that this isn't how the world works, because fundamentally, it doesn't understand anything. It's great at processing text or images, and tagging words or elements that have meaning, and correlating those concepts with other things, and it can do that across incredibly large and complex data (conversations, images, whatever), but it has no real understanding. It's just an illusion, and that illusion sometimes breaks.

@georgetakei I don't think this needs fixing. I think putting those reports in front of a judge with the mistakes indicating that officers turned into frogs is absolutely the most hilarious thing ever, and any police department that allows those reports to stand deserves the laughter it's going to get.(and the censure from the judge.)
@georgetakei Only after the software malfunctioned did they consider checking it 🤦It's so tragic actual supposed professionals are checking their common sense in at the door when it comes to software.
