Safari’s idiotic AI has decided that every time I want to go to youtube, I actually want to go to a specific clip of peppa pig failing to learn how to whistle
Google’s idiotic AI has decided that the clip of peppa pig failing to whistle depicts suicidal ideation, and so every time I visit the clip I get a big dramatic black rectangle and a therapyspeak question “Am I an adult who is prepared to view a depiction of suicide.” It took me embarassingly long to notice that this nessage, repeated constantly enough, was actually affecting my mood.
Your scenario is generous in assuming that the suicide prevention FAANGers who coded up this situation are intelligently following bad incentives. I think its more likely that their intelligence is just found lacking, when unfairly compared to the galaxy brain needed to actually guess the consequences of our actions at this scale.
