Only in SF:
- bunch of explicitly anti-social, pro-AI ads show up
- people get mad
- ads had things like ‘you’re a bad parent. Just use AI to fix your kids before they go wrong’ and ‘replace humans’
- they revealed that this was all a joke to make a statement about irresponsible AI
(Phew, right?)
- it was an elaborate stunt by a startup that believes they are ‘responsible AI’ and others are not
(Check notes)
- said startup wants to replace receptionists with AI
