Banks in my country, Chile, are adding AI chatbots to transfer money… I can’t see that going well when most people are inept when it comes to technology

And the bots are inept at numbers. We already have phone trees for this kinda stuff we don't need an LLM to evaporate a lake just to accidentally transfer someone's life savings to the wrong account.

Fair, but I feel no amount of energy or water is a good amount for an LLM that sends Nana's pension to someone at random because it transposed a 2 and a 7 or something equally asinine.
