I’m pretty sure the article itself is generated. This sort of refusal to commit to saying anything concrete is a hallmark of AI generated articles. The closest it comes to saying how AI is being used differently and it hedges with an “imagine this” sort of statement without references:
Now imagine AI in a different role. Instead of answering questions, it adjusts traffic lights as congestion builds. It balances electricity across a grid as demand shifts. It predicts equipment failures before they occur, reroutes freight around disruptions or continuously updates a digital model of an entire city as millions of people move through it.
Imagine A.I. deciding to fuck your commute home because you and 2 other cars are turning but there’s 20,000 cars going straight so it trolley problems your ass into traffic purgatory
Even if it was a good idea to optimize traffic based on live data, it doesn’t seem to make a lot of sense for AI to be in the loop as opposed to just a normal algorithm, because the problem isn’t that dynamic. Maybe unless it’s so individual decisions are a black box and no one can be held accountable for them. Anyway, again, I think this example is just something the LLM thought sounded plausible and isn’t based on anything real.

Have you ever used Google Maps? That future is already here.
I guess using a non-internet connected gps device puts me somewhat out of the loop here but yeah you’re right
I’ve noticed LLMs are really good at finding use cases for themselves everywhere, even if it’s a bit of a stretch
