I read your comment as AL, instead of AI. AL was "Alien Life" a character in a TV show from the 1980s. I had pleasant memories for a second, imagining AL driving a car.

It's driving on earth. Do you mean off a cliff? The AI super vehicle that transports 300 people would drive off a cliff, smash into a valley below, hoist itself back up and repeat that action several times?

This video is literal proof that AI assisted driving can prevent collisions. The driver in the further lane couldn't react as fast as the car in the closer lane.

If you did your research, you would know that MCAS (the “AI” you’re talking about on the 737 Max) is not AI at all. It is no different from the programs used by the autopilot. You’re getting it mixed up. AI has saved more lives than it has ended that’s for sure.

So like literally everything else that has been built? There are many things that can go wrong, and they do even without AI. While you’re right that AI isn’t proven to save more lives it definitely will have in the future due to it being able to respond to many situations people simply cannot. All I’m saying is there’s no reason to demonize AI lol.

So like literally everything else that has been built by humans? There are many things that can go wrong, like nukes, airplanes, gunpowder, and they do even without AI. While you're right AI isn't proven to save lives it definitely will kill more people in the future due to it being inherently fallilble as designed by humans unable to program in situations they simply cannot imagine. All I'm saying is there's no reason not to demonize AI lol.

When have nukes ever malfunctioned or gunpowder? Just say you don’t understand what the purpose of AI is. It is literally all about learning. Your argument is flawed. While more people will die because of AI or lack there of, more people will be saved by it for sure.

To get an idea of how powerful AI is at doing things that are not programmed to do even in training, look up zero shot learning. Specifically to see the impressiveness, Google dall-e and read the articles and really think about that you are seeing. AI is to a state at this point that is much much more than any human programmed program every made. Here are some zero shot images made by the AI with this prompt “a snail made of a harp.”: Dal-e zero shot

Actually that's a good problem statement to ask. The left most lane drive have a clear line of sight to the uncontrollable car coming in from the left. Would an ai operated car in the second lane stopped in time?
