It's tests, baby, all the way down! Midterms! Quarterlies! Weekly quizzes! Your grade is now 10% attendance and 90% exams! Good luck! Just be thankful they aren't oral.

I think it is reasonable assumption. I know many states use facial recognition to flag attempted ID fraud, in all cases it is flagged for manual review. If that how it works, I would have no issue with it.

It takes creative and willful misunderstanding to interpret "abolition of the administrative state" as anarchy. To conservatives, "administrative state" means unelected and unaccountable bureaucracy that governs many aspects of our lives. It absolutely does not mean no governance.

Interesting point. I don't think it could work in this case, the visceral reaction to "these people cheating on taxes" is just too ingrained into human nature to be manipulated that way. It is almost on a level of social reflex.

I know you would rather change the topic, but what any of what you responded with has to do with the original assertion that IRS use of AI is part of "attempting to coalesce all government information on American citizens into one database. Then they can easily filter out the rich and exempt them." ?

People that maintain the system will also have to be in on it. IRS IT department have hundreds, maybe thousands of people in it. Snowden happened to CIA, and these are IT systems handling Top Secret data. IRS does not have anywhere near that level of security. There is no way to prevent something like that from becoming public.

I read Project 2025 and have not seen anything like that. Considering certainty you showing in your statements, please back them up with direct quotes out of Project 2025.

Citation required.

The burden of proof is on one making claims. You should have no trouble citing relevant evidence out of Project 2025, considering it is available for free online.

Because you will try to doge this, here is direct question - where in Project 2025 plan does it say anything like that?

The problem with conspiracies is that more people involved, more likely they become public knowledge. So lets assume your conspiracy theory, that IRS will use AI to create special exemptions for wealthy people to charge them less taxes, is true. How many people will have to be involved in this? Well, someone has to implement technical aspects of it, people that maintain the system will also have to be in on it, people that benefit from it will have to be in on it too. So thousands of people. Do you think there is any chance to nobody talks?

Use of accountants is not so expensive that it is out of reach of average professional. Personally, I use one for the purpose of avoiding the type of criminal liability you are mentioned - with tax accountants, if there is a honest mistake in my taxes, then it is much harder to demonstrate intent and charge me with a felony. To me, it is money well-spent.

AI based automation is fine, but considering that we know AI is prone to hallucinations any IRS action as the result of AI input has to be human-reviewed and there needs to be a streamlined appear or review process. Currently, any issue with IRS translates into spending thousands on accountants to deal with the issue. This is not unlike getting charged with a crime, only there is no presumption of innocence.

This is some next-level deranged paranoia. Do you have any evidence to support any of your assertions?

Anecdote: I have observed, at least in this area, that many drivers will quite easily use *any* available lane to pass if they think it will save them five seconds of their drive. This includes turn lanes, highway merge lanes, slip roads, etc. On a regular basis (especially on the Interstate highways) I also see people changing two or more lanes, frequently without signaling. The probability of this happening increases with certain makes and colors of car. A red Tesla, for example, has a much higher than average probability of making a thoughtless maneuver.

The worst part of all this is that they will insist on doing it no matter what prompt is used. Even direct clear instructions to not do so don't work. If a person started doing things like that, I would very quickly stop interacting with someone that annoying. And before anyone asks, yes, I do stop interacting with the "AI" LLMs that do that. Strangely, I don't have the same issue with models I run locally.
