Oh, what a surprise. Another AI spat out some more bullshit. I can't wait until companies finally give up on trying to do everything with AI.
I don't think that will ever happen.
They're acceptable of AI driving car accidents that causes harm happen. It's all part of the learning / debugging process to them.
The issue is that the process won't ever stop. It won't ever be debugged sufficiently
EDIT: Due to the way it works. A bit like static error in control theory, you know that for different applications it may or may not be acceptable. The "I" in PID-regulators and all that. IIRC
Oh great, I'm getting horrible flashbacks now to my controls class.
Another way to look at it is if there's sufficient lag time between your controlled variable and your observed variable, you will never catch up to your target. You'll always be chasing your tail with basic feedback control.
It will, someday. Probably years and years down the road (pardon the pun), but it will.
By the way, you reply to me seems very AI-ish. Are you a bot?
No, but English is not my first language
Fair enough. Apologies.
I guess the argument is that this is what "innovation and disruption" looks like. When they finally iron out so that chatbots won't invent fake headlines, they will pile on a new technology that endangers us in a new way. This is the acceptable margin of error to them.
AI isn't inherently bad. Once AI cars cause less accidents than human drivers (even if they still cause some accidents) it will be moral to use them on roads.
No, cars need to end. Move to trains.
AI cars already cause drastically less accidents. And the accidents they do cause are overwhelmingly minor.
People hate it when an accident happens and there's no one to blame. Now it's still on the driver's responsibility but that's not always going to be the case. We're never reaching zero traffic deaths even with self driving cars that are a hundred times better than the best human driver.
