using and trusting llm at all for something like this is the crime here..
but then again, maybe this is just test run for taking away "unwanted" people, using handily mistaken facial recognition as excuse. If cases like this start happening more its propably that, and if they start happening enough people will lose interest and it wont be covere by media so much anymore. And after that they have neat system where they can capture anyone they want and can claim "mistake" if they get caught.
I don't see how in the world people never headed my warnings about Ai in general ever being involved in the applications of law, of which it should never be the sole source of proofs and never be the judge of basickly anything. It has a lot more to do with it's general and ethical fallacies then to do with kerrens forehead, that's for sure.
I agree, but um...you really should look up the definition of the word "falsies"
ywah my bad, wrong word "typo" I fixed it lol.
