Things like this are a good demonstration of why they need to be kept far, far away from decision making processes.

Somewhat ironic to say, on a platform that's already using ANNs as a first line of defense against users spamming CSAM.

I have no delusions regarding decision makers using them, my only doubt is for how long they've been using them to decide the next step in wars around the world.
