AI trains that are never on time and derail constantly? ๐ค
For some reason, I think the most likely bad parts of AI trains will be that some of the cars will be misshapen (some won't even have seats), and you will have to pay a subscription to even take the train.
Between Amtrak and freight trains I think this is already the state of trains in the US, no need for AI.
That's a different type of AI. Not Artificial Intelligence, but American Ingenuity.
You are right to have expressed concerns. I didn't actually run the train today.
AI trains that calculate profitability of each route while in transit. If profits are too low your trip is canceled mid trip and you are left in Arkansas. Partial refund, then you book to continue the journey tomorrow but now there is surge pricing
This was already possible without the new LLM buzzword nonsense. In fact, LLMs would be worse at it than whatever algorithms were already around to do this
Better take the AI back out then, before it decides to 'simulate' not derailing.
