    This proves that we will never achieve the perfect Artificial Intelligence. So, we don't have to worry about Skynet Terminators, Matrix Squid Sentinels or any other robots from the movies...

                  I have a feeling someone will sue Apple for it. Not that they shouldn't.

                        Copycat feature leads to fake results. No surprise. This is what happens when Apple Inc. copies Android like always.

                          Why are people skiing with their phone tho? Isn't it supposed to be in a locker?

                            JLC, 27 Dec 2022Well, Crash detection belongs into the car and all cars hav... more🤣 the epilepsy alert sounds like something Apple might do next tbh.

                              I worked 911 for almost 20 years. Glad I don't have to put up with this!
                              It was bad enough in the days of a land line phone. On Christmas eve/day we would
                              get people that got a new cordless phone, and would push the red emergency button.
                              When we would answer, they knew it worked and would hang up, requiring us to call them back.

                                  Well, Crash detection belongs into the car and all cars have it onboard out of the box by law (at least in Europe).
                                  Outside of the car, nobody needs crash detection. It took Apple 3 years to copy a feature from Pixels that nobody had asked for.
                                  This is the result of playing with people’s fears. Next year’s Apple’s life-saving feature: “Potential epilepsy alert” asking you to close your eyes when driving through a tunnel.
                                  And in 2024 they’ll release “Constipation alert”, and in 2025 “Going down the wrong pipe” alert, in 2026 "Loud disco music" alert, …

                                        if you make fake call twice to emergency, that is a law violation in my country and you are sued. problem solved. why are they keep complaining? just sue the owner and apple.
