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.

Well it is an "analysis" and not a stated plan by European banks, as far as I know.
And it is about ai AND closing down physical branch... what a convenient things to group together...
So... I think this is ai propaganda. While I don't think European banks are smarter than Americans...
If banks really start integrating their internal systems with AI, I give it a week at best before we go back to using shells and cacao beans as currency.
I wonder how familiar AI will be with those old cobol systems...
The bloodletting will hit hardest in back-office operations, risk management, and compliance
Compliance? Really? They're going to put the non-deterministic halucination engines in charge of compliance?
I can only hope that the first time this goes south the regulators understand how important it is to make an example to everyone else that a company can not escape liability for their actions just because the AI system that took those actions wasn't explicitly instructed to do so.
