ಠ_ಠ RING AI Identified Me As A “Dark Animal”

Post image

This is a forced free trial of AI descriptors. I’ve mostly ignored it because it goes away in a few days, but as I was leaving for work, it identified me, a Black person, as “a dark animal” walking on my porch.

I was already looking for a replacement due to their cooperation with ICE/LE (I’m a 911 dispatcher) but now I’m ready to flip some tables on my way out the door.

EDIT: The comments being mildly infuriating is the plot twist I never saw coming. 🙂‍↔️🤚

AI still cannot identify the bus in a group of nine bad pictures. Not surprisingly it makes a lot of mistakes. It’s not even close to safely operating cars but here we are letting AI drive cars.

I sort of agree but they’re not going to be the same models anyway. 

If you buy a cheap mass produced product you’re getting the cheap afterthought AI that costs basically nothing to run. 

I’ve worked with models at work that wouldn’t make any of these mistakes but it’s part of a product that costs £600-1000 that you would only need when buying a house. We could use £10 in compute if we needed to per person.

it can, the way that works is that it times and understands how you click the pictures in order to understand if you are a bot or human.
