I saw a good article on c/upliftingnews about AI improving traffic signal controllers. It’s good and all, I just can’t help but think of the “look at what they need to have a fraction of our power” meme while reading it

    Sorry if it came across that way, I actually didn’t mean it pessimistically. The improvements the article talks about are great.

    I just find it funny, as an AI researcher, how much AI is celebrated compared to boring solutions. I mean imagine the public being super excited about the same article, but this time “AI” was replaced by “bikes”. I find that mental image hilarious, and that is what I wanted to share.

      Don’t apologize. They’re being an asshole to you. They could have quietly done it without the rude comment
