Spent many years on Reddit before joining the Threadiverse as well.
I’d say if one person calls with an emergency, gets AI, and doesn’t get transferred, then the entire system is failed and someone should go to jail.
Alright, let’s go with that standard for purposes of argument.
If one person calls the emergency line with an emergency and doesn’t get through because the human dispatchers are currently overwhelmed with non-emergency calls, does that mean the entire current system is failed and someone should go to jail?
Again, did you read the article?
Or even the comment I wrote that you are responding to right now? I said the answer to this in the comment you’re responding to.
Thank you for being the first person in this thread to actually go to any sort of effort to dig up factual counterarguments.
No, but I think a minimal threshold for giving those concerns consideration should be some indication that the people with those concerns have read the article.
Glitchvid, for example, has actually gone to the trouble to search job listings on their site. That is a sign of concern worth considering. First one I’ve seen in this thread.
I didn’t forget that part. The article indicates that they have job openings that they are simply not getting applicants for. Throwing more money at staffing won’t fix that, you can’t magically spawn qualified people out of nothing.
I seem to be the only person in this thread who’s actually reading and responding to the article, and every response I give instantly gets hit with downvotes. Do people simply want to be angry about AI, and so anything that might interfere with the purity of that anger is unwelcome? Maybe we should just have a daily thread with a title of simply “How about that AI, huh?” That people can post angry comments in without fear of meaningful interruption.
Read the article.
Kehoe countered that the AI system would interact only with nonemergency callers and that emergency calls to 911 would be routed only to human dispatchers. In fact, she added, “on nonemergency calls, it might detect those elevated stress levels [for callers] and it will automatically default going to a human being as well.”
“There are a lot of safeguards,” Kehoe added, “to ensure that even with the tiniest bit of doubt, we don’t have someone just sitting on the phone and not getting help.”
The AI system will only reroute calls that it can determine are not emergency calls. The default will be to let the calls through to the human staff. It’s not going to be some sort of primitive “press 1 if you are currently on fire” menu system.
Modern AI is not a “virtual roulette wheel.”
And if you’ll read the article, it mentions that they don’t have enough staff to handle all the calls they’re getting. They have job openings that people simply aren’t applying for, it’s not a question of funding. They’re getting too many phone calls to handle and many of those phone calls should not be going to them in the first place. What should they do?
And those ones would presumably be forwarded directly to the human staff. The point of this system is to filter out non-emergency calls.
What situation? AI is being used to transfer non-emergency calls away from the emergency lines, keeping the human operators there available to handle the actual emergencies. Non-emergency stuff shouldn’t be on that line in the first place. The “WTF” part is people phoning the emergency number with trivialities in the first place, they shouldn’t be doing that.
EMS is not being handed over to AI. Please read the article, it’s about using AI to triage non-emergency calls away from the emergency lines so that the human call staff at the emergency lines are not being kept busy dealing with the non-emergency stuff.
Did you read the article? It describes the situation in detail.
You realize you’re on social media right now?
I recently read that the original script and direction called for a more subdued “Everyone,” but Gary Oldman did one completely over-the-top take as a lark and that was the one they settled on in editing.

I mean, sure, you could always die of an unrelated accident at any time while you’re being chased by a monster. The specific monster hardly matters in that situation.
The thing from “It Follows” goes at a walking pace, I could hop in the car and drive a few hours out of town to spend the day at a nice park.
There are already gaps between the boards. You think the neighbour is a peeper who is unsatisfied with the view between the boards and so has installed a great big obvious “I’m peeping!” Hatch?
Also, you literally had to scroll past a very long and insightful comment to get to that.
No I didn’t. It’s in the summary, appropriately enough.
What does the article say, then? You know the answer, go ahead and correct me.
