Futurama Predicts the SCARY Future of AI

In the Futurama episode Law and Oracle, there is a robot that can predict crimes before they even happen. They are starting to try this in real life...

Wasnt this just a parody of Minority Report? They just replaced a guy with a robot?

[SupercoolRadicool]

This is a minority report reference in futurama 💀💀😭😭

Chicago AI dev: Our AI was able to predict crimes in the city with a high accuracy.

The AI: Crimes will happen everywhere.

They just referenced a movie that already had come out, its called Minority Report

0.5% might as well throw darts at a map

[ALovelyBunchOfDragonballz]

Im pretty sure a person could predict crime based on social media usage with a better than .05% accuracy.

[Gnonne]

Even a broken clock can be right at least once a day

[griss]

Parody doesn't predict the future, it ridicules the present
Things just kept getting ridiculous

[lucere]

It would be even stranger if the prediction was straight up zero. Broken clocks and what not.

*Cough* *Cough* The episode was a parody *Cough* *Cough* Minority Report

[AleJ]

Futurama didn't predict the future, neither does the Simpsons. This is just a retell of Minority Report.

If they actually wanted to prevent crimes, they'd do 2 things: 1. Arrest a lotta rich and powerful people. 2. Invest in social programs that increase quality of life.

If you fire blind shots you're going to hit something, of course it's not 0

[ethangerstein]

Wait a fucking minute, crime prediction in CHICAGO?! This is literally the plot of Watch_Dogs

[charlestownsend]

Actually the 0.5% is more likely than 0% as you have to account for accidents getting it right, a broken clock is wrong twice a day. It's the same thing as with any other forms of prediction, say enough of them and you'll eventually get one correct just by general chance amd probability.
I would say that the 0.5% isn't showing that it works but that it made a few lucky guesses.
As for if it will ever be a way of prosecuting people, it's unlikely due to how unreliable it is and that the crime wasn't actually committed. Pre crime would be on the same levels as charging someone with a through crime.

[RenardThatch]

All I heard was "Stop using social media" which if we're honest... Is absolutely fair.

[spikefishnetwork]

Bruh it doesn't take an AI to predict crime in Chicago or NY. 😂

[sebastiangudino]

Actually, 0.5% might be even worst than just randomly guessing at that point

[riku]

Have you ever heard even a blind squirrel finds nuts twice a day?

[prabpalbhullar]

This reminds me of the anime Psycho-Pass, definitely a must watch sci-fi anime. Has a lot of psychological elements.
