Reminds me that just recently I heard they equipped busses with automatic "AI assisted" detection in their lanes. In very little time they've issued 10k tickets, though.

....I can actually get behind that.

They've had them on busses in London for years now. They seem to be highly effective. I'm not sure if they are fully automated, or driver triggered however. Either way, they have trained people that stopping or using a bus lane is a bad idea.

Oh look, a use of AI and surveillance I can actually get being.

We used to just call these "Automated", nowadays we called everything with slightly automation an "AI".

Computer vision is AI and has been called as such for a long time, way before the current wave of AI/LLMs. You can call it whatever you want. An automaton that can sense the environment, read information and make decisions on it is a kind of AI.

I'm just glad they are not calling random stuff "blockchain" anymore

A tool is a tool. Main problem are the tools using the tools, usually.
