Big AI disasters have most definitely already happened. We are just terrible at identifing them unless there's something exploding (literally) in our face.
As an example, the recent "Make America Healthy Again" report released by the White House and the Health Secretary (RFK) was found to be AI generated, and was full of dubious science and made-up citations. How many people are going to directly die because of this? Definitely more than a plane crash's worth.
- tonymet 1y agohow many millions of people have died due to low-fat diet, food pyramid, margarine, dozens of other public nutrition policy debacles pushed by the FDA?

- beefnugs 1y agoNah there should definitely be a distinction between "someone trusted ai output which caused a problem" vs "already dumb arbitrary decisions have been made, and they throw out some AI paperwork to justify it"
