Guildford previously denied in December that the West Midlands Police had used AI to prepare the report, blaming “social media scraping” for the error.

lol, as if that was better (assuming they took all findings at face value).

We’ve reached out to Microsoft to comment on why Copilot made up a football match that never existed, but the company didn’t respond in time for publication.

I’d love to hear their response, but the real answer is obvious: “it’s a black box. We have no idea what it’s doing. Yes, we unleashed that on the world. Not sorry though, we just have to keep hoping that it sorts itself out.”

Not checking your ai results is like not checking the work of a new nepo hire

It’s really 100% your fault

intelligence mistake

Another word for that is ‘stupidity’.

Using AI gets you fired.

Ah, the old “the computer did it”, but now spreading to everything it touches.

Maybe we should just be banning AI?

Same nebulous “intelligence” that designated a peacful anti-genocide group as a terrorist organization

AI risk management, what could possibly go wrong?

The annoying thing is that banning Maccabi was the right policy, because of their recent hooliganism in Amsterdam against Ajax fans and random Muslim cab drivers and shop attendants.

There’s lots of pressure from the government on civil servants to use AI, even in cases where it’s provably worse than not using it. So the coppers who did this may have felt forced.
