A definite concern given the recent history of multiple accidents in conjunction with Waymo driverless taxis in the city of San Francisco, California.

So far Waymo seems to have evaded serious liability in such situations, though the technology itself continues to be marred in controversy, particularly when considering incidents involving pedestrians.

The latest casualty: MSN

Funny AI Irony...!
I just was an ad on Facebook where Steve Martin was pitching some memory loss regimen.

I was skeptical about the ad so I asked Google AI about it.

Right away the latter declared that the former was an AI-generated Steve; not the real Steve.

AI is telling on AI...!

Speaking of such AI....

Has anyone seen a sudden barrage of AI videos on YouTube, showing celebrities in a cemetery in front of headstones of deceased friends and associates? Where they greet the person who is named on the headstone who despite being quite dead suddenly walks up to greet the celebrity.

On a technical level some of them are quite good, while others barely resemble the deceased persons in question. I suppose it's amusing to the public who has no connection to such persons, though I can't help but wonder how upsetting this might be to loved ones of those passed.

An issue that began years ago when an AI version of deceased actor Peter Cushing showed up in a Star Wars film. But since then the quality of AI has improved quite a bit.

I just recall an incident that happened days after my father had died. We were emptying out a closet of old stuff in my mother's home and came across a box with many old reel-to-reel tapes. We started playing them one by one as they had no labels on them. Mostly old music. But then we came across one where my father was talking to my mother when he was stationed in Japan and Korea. Poor Mom...she nearly collapsed hearing my Dad speak to her so clearly, as if he was right there in the room with us.

I read that someone made a social media site, like Facebook, but it's for AI only. Moltbook. AI is talking with AI there and discussing things. They have even made their own religion. So I'd say technology is completely out of control and we are all screwed. 😮 Why would someone make that?

Yeah, it's freaky too... the AI bots are complaining about humans. Suddenly I am having flashbacks of being scared of Skynet and Hal when I was a kid

My partner was really freaked out by something like this yesterday. Not exactly this scenario, but a similar one- in this case, an AI-generated image of a number-retiring ceremony for a hockey player (who is still alive, and not retired, to clarify) with the headline "rest in peace."

Who the hell thinks something like that is a good idea?! I'm assuming it was a person who had the idea to generate it, as far as I know, the AI doesn't come up with things like that on its own, but doing something like that is so devoid of empathy that it may as well have been thought up by the AI.

Just seems disrespectful, heartless, and shows a lack of regard for the feelings that loved ones would have if they stumbled upon something like that.

---

On another note, my partner and I hate those AI drive-thru things. Last time we dealt with one, he said "Can I speak to a real person?" and it replied something along the lines of "I'm sorry, I didn't understand that" so he swore at it and drove off, lol

And yes, like @MC1Rcat said, this is giving me flashbacks to when I was younger and I first heard of AI, and was paranoid about Skynet.

Sylvester Stallone & Clint Eastwood have both had premature announcements of their deaths that went viral. I think Abe Vigoda did, too, before he actually died (in 2016). I always check IMDB for confirmation. So far, they have not been fooled. [Correction: IMDB has been fooled, but less so...]
