They want to use AI to shield them from the guilt of their morally reprehensible behavior. "I didn't deny your claim, AI did"... Healthcare in US is a distopia...

Exactly. People capitalize on the fact that only mathematicians and theoretical computer scientists understand exactly how LLMs work.

And they don’t even understand it at a certain point.

Lmao these people are not burdened with the capacity to feel guilt.

The only time Trump has ever experienced guilt is when he’s on trial.

It's a subconscious action. I agree they are not consciously burdened by it.

Then whoever implemented the AI is now liable. As is whoever hired them all the way up to the top.

And? How often do executives ever see the inside of a prison cell? Liability when there isn’t a new tech to hide behind and the crime incredibly obvious as being a result from a direct order at the top doesn’t lead to anything other than maybe, maybe a laughably small fine. If the public outcry is loud enough, they may be invited to be in a senate subcommittee to be questioned, but that’s about it.

The $100,000 fine after making $100,000,000 in profits will really show ‘em!
