Experimenting with unproven technology to determine whether a child should be granted protections they desperately need and are legally entitled to is cruel and unconscionable.

Bc they've already sunk too much money into it thinking that if they fed it enough data it would suddenly develop superintelligence, and nobody wants to admit it is likely decades away from being what they advertised (if it ever reaches that point at all).

Their solution is to just keep throwing more money and data at it until they eventually make it work, or they kill us all trying. Which do you think will happen first?
