Comment Re:Clickbait question on AI (Score 1) 45

false information was possibly AI, but the lawyers will not admit that is what happened.

No, that is not what is going to happen: They will try to use AI as an excuse for submitting fake documents to a court case and get way with it. And they definitely should not be allowed to get away with it.

Comment COBOL to English (Score 1) 88

COBOL was designed to allow non-programmers to write code that maps closely to the English language.

So now we let AI take that code and translate it to English.

Hm, that's probably something that could have been done without AI at all. But without having actually seen the generated specifications and the code they were generated from, that's difficult to say.

Why would anyone visit the US right now when they can catch a train to Nuremberg any time?

With the current state of Deutsche Bahn that's a questionable statement. Will the train arrive on time? Or at all? Will it actually go to Nuremberg? Will it break down during the trip? Will there be a functioning toilet on board?

I'm not sure how or why we settled on the magic number of 5 days per week. There doesn't seem to be any particularly compelling reason for it.

Actually, at least in Germany, the legal limit is 48 hours/week on 6 days. But you could simply work 40h/week on 4 days.

Another point we should make, we shouldn't be expecting perfection from driverless cars .. because we sure as hell aren't expecting perfection from humans. As long as the driverless cars are statistically better than humans .. they're ok.

Let me rephrase that:
It is OK if driverless vehicles kill more children than human drivers as long as they kill less people in total.

Is that what you mean?
(Replace "children" with "cyclists" or "seniors" or "homeless people" if you like.)

Or maybe:

It is OK if driverless vehicles injure more people than human drivers as long as they kill less people.
