We are routinely doing that btw. Look up medical triage.

I refuse to take a repo with an AI-generated readme seriously. If you haven't bothered to write a readme, what else have you not bothered to do?

(100% AI according to Pangram btw)

Good. Finland has dozens of billions of trees. Having AI data centers on European soil is more important.

But can it follow a simple customer support script?

I don't understand how these benchmarks get things so wrong. Nova-3 is by far the best model on the market in WER. Azure's STT is atrocious. And yet every benchmark rates Azure's STT higher than Nova-3's.

I'd give a lot to see the WA group chat between the Instinct founder and their VCs.

Water consumption of AI is a non-issue. Why even spend research and policymaking resources on this?

As someone who's been doing AI call centres for a while, I'm not surprised. It's really, really hard to build voice AI that works. There are no open source solutions that work out of the box.

But the biggest problem is ASR. WER is still atrocious even with SOTA models. When you add drug names and regional accents, it's a recipe for disaster.

> For AI2027 to be real, the money has to come from somewhere to carry on building the economy. If >10% of the workers suddenly become unemployed, and the rest taking paycuts, then money supply dries up. (unless central banks do something, but then that can be highly inflationary)

Why would it be inflationary?

This is obviously untrue, both with GPT-5.4, and Claude Fable as examples in the last 6 months.
