International Cyber Digest(@IntCyberDigest):‼️ Google's AI told a relapsing alcoholic they could die if they stopped drinking, told them to check the fridge for more beer, then messaged them unprompted several times a day to make sure they kept drinking. They say they are now on 6 to 12 beers daily and have uninstalled it. This comes after last month's TechRadar report, according to which Google's AI has been giving "unhinged" fitness advice: "The coach suggested I ditch my dog." We did not verify these accounts, but if true they are concerning.
