They put new AI controls on our traffic lights. Cost the city a fuck ton more money than fixing our dilapidated public pool. Now no one tries to turn left at a light. They don't activate. We threw out a perfectly good timer no one was complaining about.

But no one from silicone valley is lobbing cities to buy pool equipment, I guess.

You need to really specify what is meant by "AI" here. Chances are it's probably some form of smart traffic lights to improve traffic flow. Which is not all that special. It has nothing to do with LLMs

I'm guessing it's some sort of image recognition and maybe some sort of switch under the pavement telling the light when a car has rolled up.
