You say that but just last year there was a scandal about them locking up hundreds of postmen over a database error.
Oh, i get that. It’s just that the computer isn’t to blame. There’s aways people behind the computer. Stuff like this should be “suggestions to investigate further” — not edicts to act immediately.
And people who make poor decisions based on these suggestions should be held accountable.
Don’t ever let anyone shift blame to “oh it was the computer’s fault.”
Let me ask: was copilot making up stuff by itself? Or was it used by some idiot?
Yes.
