    I have a better AI model. I ask it where the start the fire will start, then I go there to start the fire myself.

      Controlled burns are unironically based and a good way to cut down on old biomass that can cause these huge uncontrollable wildfires

    I feel like they have to put “AI” (the word, not the meaning of it) everywhere. It’s just the new buzzword, we still have to see some positive effects of AI. It just seems they have to throw it out because it’s the new thing.

      Not really - it isn’t prediction, it is early detection. Interpretive AI (finding and interpreting patterns) is way ahead of generative AI.
