An Amazon chatbot that’s supposed to surface useful information from customer reviews of specific products will also recommend a variety of racist books, lie about working conditions at Amazon, and write a cover letter for a job application with entirely made up work experience when asked, 404 Media has found.

Too bad you weren't on the jury, because you could have been educated on the situation and have a valid opinion on the subject.

Or you could actually look up real information and find out what exactly McDonald's was being punished for, and how they exacerbated the situation over and over.

Safety standards are not created with the expectation that everyone else acts perfectly safely, safety standards are designed that people can have accidents and not be maimed due to cost cutting from a giant, multinational corporation. McDonald's deserves that judgement, the media demonized the victim, and you are perpetuating that myth.
