Well if AI cant tell the difference between a Mass Shooting and a Water Fountain (yes, that is literally a news story), then how the fuck can a phone with an Accelerometer tell the difference between a car crash and plopping my fat ass down on a couch after work?

Do we wonder why the retard Gen-Z'ers call 911 when they cant get to Facebook? Over dependence on Big Govt?
