#Graduation #AI #fail seems to be a recurring theme lately

Here's the latest 🍿 for you:

#Glendale community #college in #Arizona used AI to read names

Predictably, it missed people, it had the names out of order, etc

Because, of course, a human reading the names of #graduates and giving them simple decent recognition for their dedication and work is too hard?

This is video of college #faculty trying to explain the debacle. The crowd reaction is not supportive

And oh yeah: Fuck AI

#CNN on instagram has video of an example of the #graduation #AI #fail at #Glendale CC in #Arizona

no, that is not Derek Martinez

🤦‍♂️

and isn't it lovely to do all that hard work in college and then in the moment of your success and triumph you're churned through with a robot's voice instead of a fucking human being?

😠

@benroyce

This is so stupid! And unnecessary.

All they had to do was have a human with a microphone and list of names, but they went with a text-to-speech system?

Tech for tech's sake is never a good option.

And I spent my whole life working in tech.

@PeterLG @benroyce saw a comment that's probably spot on.

"which faculty got a kickback or discount for pushing the AI software"

there's just no way this is done for funsies...especially at a community college.

@pixelpusher220

Nah, I think you're discounting the blindness of some people.
