The cops are lazy, not stupid.

Double-checking stuff is work, and there will be no repercussions for the individual cops, so why should they care?

Just call the towing company and go back to the donut shop.

Ha ha.

I wonder what their employer thinks about that.

AI is very good at writing COBOL.

"Watching John with the machine, it was suddenly so clear. The terminator would never stop. It would never leave him, and it would never hurt him, never shout at him, or get drunk and hit him, or say it was too busy to spend time with him. It would always be there. And it would die to protect him. Of all the would-be fathers who came and went over the years, this thing, this machine, was the only one who measured up. In an insane world, it was the sanest choice." -- Sarah Connor

Probably true, but disappointing. Using AI, relying on it, and being required to use it are different things and I fear we're moving toward the latter two. Having to get an religious exemption to be allowed to avoid being forced to use AI at work seems like a bad thing.

It's worth remembering that AIs are largely trained using data/information generated by people; it we become, to put it simply, idiots ... well, GIGO.

Or, at the very least, do some work yourself to see what is valid and worthwhile, don't just blindly push things off onto someone else.

Or Sports Illustrated, or Système International (SI units) ...

"Person, woman, man, camera, TV"

I've said and explained it before, we're headed for "LI - Ludicrous Intelligence" and, perhaps, beyond. :-)

(Artificial, Super, Super Duper, Hyper, Ridiculous, Ludicrous ... Plaid)

I'm not sure using "super" will be more soothing in that regard. And this is a Trump thing. (a) He really likes (re)branding things - and coercing others to follow along - especially on a whim, and (b) it probably seems super given his mental decline. I'm betting everyone will be back to just using artificial in, at most, 2 years...

I think it's more the "artificial" vs "super" part that's worth discussion. In this context, artificial is a better fit overall. Trump is only pushing super because (a) he really likes branding thing himself and (b) at this point it seems super to Mr. "I keep Being Asked to Take Cognitive Tests and Think They're IQ Tests" -- boasting, "Person, Woman, Man, Camera", and “They have a picture and it says 'what's that?' and it's an elephant.”

I'm betting this will go away in, at most, 2 years and we/they will all be back to calling it "Artificial".

The person you're replying to said "as someone from a northern climate". They're telling you that regardless of the DST changes, where they live, school starts while it's dark some of the time.

How many kids in kindergarten to grade two are walking (busy) country roads to school? Sounds unlikely and rare. Rural kids are typically transported to/from school by bus, specifically because walking - light or dark - isn't practical.

The "kids in the dark" thing is just boogeyman fearmongering.

Actually, Hitler wanted Franco to take Gibraltar.

Franco refused because the British would retaliate by taking the Canary Islands.

What motivation could they have for intentionally making themselves look incompetent?

Well, obviously.

It doesn't disproportionately impact black people, transfer private wealth to 1% of the population, treat non-straight people worse than animals, or spread trivially-discounted lies about scientific and medical facts... so it can't be from the mind of a conservative.

Conservative trolls don't do well here.

Which one 1-12, Centurion, or Raider? :-)
