Then there are the versions of AI that just means All Indians

Or the Ultimate Computer.

As I recall the smartest people in the classroom said a pop tart chewed by a child resembled a gun.

The only high tech surveillance that works are high resolution cameras.

Well, they spent millions on a system known to have an issue with a high false positive rate so ignoring the stupid alert even though they knew would have made it look useless. Look at the letter the school principal sent to the parents about it (the WBAL-TV 11 News television station link), it doesn’t mention this was a false alert or the Doritos, and in a response to WBAL-TV 11 News neither did the police. But both were sure to mention ‘weapon’.

Just when you think cops can’t get any dumber.

Or, as the smart programmers used to say, “GIGO. Garbage in; garbage out.”

Overall the so called ‘AI’ everyone is so nuts over is not ‘intelligence’ artificial or other wise. Its simply using what its been fed to arrange into a ‘useful form’ in response to ‘query’. It does not create the ‘information’ it uses from organic thought by reasoning and logic like actual ‘intelligence’ does. So there is no ‘intelligence’ involved but rather simply ‘response’ to any ‘input’ using what its been ‘fed’ from what ever sources that comes from. In effect its basically a fancy ‘calculator’ using ‘input’ to spit out an ‘answer’ that’s already been predetermined by the constraints of and under rules of what it is fed… 1 + 1 is = 2 on a calculator because its been predetermined by the constraints of and under rules of math.

So in reality there is no such thing as ‘AI powered’, but rather its ‘predetermined regurgitation powered’. And herein lies the pit-falls posed by ‘AI’ – it can only use what its been fed, if its been fed that certain ‘combinations’ of shapes and/or materials are firearms its going to say they are firearms – if its been fed that certain ‘demographics’ are dangerous then certain demographics are dangerous – and it does not ‘reason’ or ‘logic’ like actual intelligence does, for example, the material of the Doritos bag is not gun metal and the hand is flesh-n-bone and not gun metal, things we would look at and with our actual intelligence reason and logic that its not a gun.

The excuse is going to be ‘AI said so it must be correct Yea AI!’, so like what happened to this kid, there are a lot of pitfalls with this relying on ‘AI’ stupid and its going to end up getting innocent people injured or killed eventually or like this kid subjected to the threat of use of deadly force that could have gone wrong with the twitch or accidental movement of a finger by a nervous police officer before they even looked physically at what was claimed to be a gun and went only only on the pic AI provided and alerted on as a gun.
