AI is a virus

[–] Randomgal@lemmy.ca 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

AI is a machine that cannot be held accountable and has no will.

Stop being distracted by the tool, look at the humans.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

AI is all about the humans.

AI is the last to blame here:

  • The kids for bullying her for her tan
  • The school boards implementing the surveillance
  • The parents who allowed such surveillance in the first place
  • The person screening what was flagged for not sending the school counselor to talk with the kid
  • The person calling the cops
  • The cops for arresting an 8th-grader and DOING A STRIP SEARCH AND KEEPING HER OVERNIGHT WTF instead of handing her over to her parents

this is a societywide issue, dont blame the bot.

I notice that none of these suggestions include any AI solutions. Could you please rephrase these to emphasize how AI might be a powerful aid in the fight against online bullying and police brutality?

For this scenario to happen a simple text filter that marks messages with the word "kill" would have been enough. that an LLM was involved is a distraction from the real issues.

I notice this suggestion doesn't include any AI solutions. Could you please rephrase to emphasize how effective an ally AI can be at identifying negative sentiments among large userbases?
