Activists and police watchdogs have concerns about how AI could alter a fundamental document that plays a role in who's prosecuted.

    A lot of the reasons not to use AI is it just makes up random shit…

    But even with that it’s probably more accurate than what a fucking cop would write.

    What I’m worried about is cops making sure the AI says what they want (lies) and then when questioned they’ll blame the AI to escape consequences

    the AI doesn’t have fucking racial bias, humanity and the content they produce they fit into the AI has a racist bias.

      No need to split hairs here. The product that people use and call “AI” is what is relevant.

      So your logic is that a child can’t be racist if the parents are racist?

          I never saw a knife capable of writing a police report, or doing anything else we normally attribute to only brains.
          The problem with AI is that they seem to become racist by “choosing” racist stigma over the alternative, despite racist stigma is NOT the majority of the info they are based on.

    What is more racist, though? The average cop or the average LLM? I’d wager a guess it’s the average cop. So, it would still be a net benefit.
