Until the price of lawsuits about this eclipses the cost of AI use, they're going to keep using it.
Any smart scumbag lawyer ought to be learning all the laws on AI misidentification and suing cities like crazy.

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Is this truly a real story? Google Michael Ellis Monty Python and see why I feel compelled to ask this...
If you've got nothing to hide, do you statistically resemble in any way someone who does?
Do you look kind of like them?
Choose a side. One of them might kill you or lock you in a cage for something a person who never existed might have done.
Good. Encourage your lawyer to go for the throat and FORCE future lawmakers to consider the cost of false positives
And all because some dude was banned for sleepling on the premises... fuck that. I blame the casino for not paying for enough security or personal to keep the premises clear of someone able to FALL ASLEEP enough to become an issue
The problem is (at least in the USA) that lawmakers are never personally held responsible for the crappy laws they pass. It's a major contributor to how screwed up this country has become because they can force their personal ideology on everyone, no matter how misguided. This is something I strongly believe needs to be rectified to make real progress, but I'm not sure how that should happen.
This farcical arrest would fit right into an episode of Reno 911.
Lived in reno for a while. Genuinely didn't figure out it wasn't reality until season two. In my defense the tvbi had at the time was garbage and the color was kinda fucked.
Did it misidentify him as the chief of police? I'm sorry, I know he's a regular dude and I shouldn't make fun of his appearance. But, he literally looks like the average cop.
When you fail to be a firefighter, you either decide to contribute to society and drive a big cool truck anyway and get to use the horn WHENEVER YOU WANT, or you become a cop.
Not that all truck drivers fail to be firefighters.
