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.

Fine. I propose a new law. Self-driving cars will only be allowed on the road if their manufacturers accept total legal liability for any damage caused by them. Humans aren't supposed to be operating these vehicles, thus all liability should fall on the companies that make them. This would be a very effective way of cutting through AI bullshit. It's easy to game numbers and make your product look safer than it is. And companies lie to their customers all the time. But if we make manufacturers fully liable for any accidents caused by their self-driving vehicles, then they will only release those vehicles when they actually are far safer than human drivers.
The auto insurance industry should be made a thing of the past. If self-driving cars really are that safe, then the manufacturers can afford to cut a check whenever one of those fluke rare accidents really does happen.
Until a manufacturer is willing to do this, don't believe a damn word they say about the safety of their cars.
They have to accept the liability- it’s unreasonable for liability to continue being on the driver if they’re not driving.
