    Imagine A.I. deciding to fuck your commute home because you and 2 other cars are turning but there’s 20,000 cars going straight so it trolley problems your ass into traffic purgatory

      Even if it was a good idea to optimize traffic based on live data, it doesn’t seem to make a lot of sense for AI to be in the loop as opposed to just a normal algorithm, because the problem isn’t that dynamic. Maybe unless it’s so individual decisions are a black box and no one can be held accountable for them. Anyway, again, I think this example is just something the LLM thought sounded plausible and isn’t based on anything real.

        Have you ever used Google Maps? That future is already here.

          I guess using a non-internet connected gps device puts me somewhat out of the loop here but yeah you’re right

        I’ve noticed LLMs are really good at finding use cases for themselves everywhere, even if it’s a bit of a stretch
