AI is not to blame here. The humans who relied solely on the AI match are absolutely to blame. And let me also say a quick sarcastic USA! USA! USA!
This is why we say ACAB: The system is completely broken. Not only the complete bullshit of arresting her based solely on the supposed face match, but also leaving her in jail not even talking to her, causing her to lose everything - house, belongings, dog - and even fucking abandoning her in Fargo once they were done fucking her life over. People fucking die on the streets. What a fucking nightmare.
It's shit like this that causes me to have to pull back on pushing back against the folks who have turned on the US. We don't deserve bad treatment, they can still fuck off on that point. But the US is not a good country in very many ways.
Believe it or not, it's possible for there to be more than one person or entity to blame. If they were not using these AI products, they never would have made this mistake. So it's on both of them.
WRONG. it is ALL YOUR FAULT, nobody else's. ;-)
I agree with your comment in general, but I think in this case imho the blame is really just with the idiots that went solely on the result of the tool. Yeah, the tool was also wrong, for sure. So… I agree in general but disagree in this instance. But imho no worries, I think we're still basically on the same page about things in general. heh
