"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
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.

AI offering unsolicited advice on emergency situations is a fresh, new level of hell.
I didn't realize until I read your comment that the AI was integrated into Slack and told this person that they didn't need to evacuate without them specifically asking the AI for advice.
On the other hand, this does show that anything typed into that slack channel is treated like a query. Which is also terrifyingly stupid.
One also has to wonder, did they message on their phone from a safe location? Or did they hear alarm bells and their first instinct was to get on their computer and start typing?
I don't know why people are assuming she didn't just do the thing anyone does in these situations, evacuating and then striking up conversation about it
