Today we had a fire alarm in the office. A colleague wrote to a Slack channel 'Fire alarm in the office building', to start a thread if somebody knows any details. We have AI assistant Glean integrated into the Slack, and it answered privately to her: "today's siren is just a scheduled test and you do not need to leave your workplace". It was not a test or a drill, it was a real fire alarm. Someday, AI will kill us.

Jebus. The fire alarm goes off and their reaction is to ... start a Slack thread?

Not, "get up from desk and leave expeditiously" like you practice in the fire drills?

Some people have no common sense.

@cazabon The Slack thread was started after the person evacuated:

As it gets much more attention, than I expected, here are two clarifications: 1. The Slack message was written after the person evacuated properly. It was written via phone while staying at the designated area outside the building. 2. Nobody asked AI advice explicitly. It was configured to answer automatically if it thinks it can help you. The configuration was updated after this incident.
