In a shocking turn of events, the Senate has decided to strike an artificial intelligence provision from a GOP bill after facing backlash from the states. The provision, which would have required all government agencies to implement AI systems for decision-making processes, was met with uproar from lawmakers who were concerned about the potential for chaos and confusion.
Senator John Smith, who led the charge against the provision, stated, “This is absolutely ridiculous! I can’t believe they expected us to just blindly trust machines to make important decisions. I mean, have you seen what happens when my toaster tries to make toast? It’s a disaster!”
The states were not shy about voicing their concerns either. Governor Sarah Johnson of Texas said, “We don’t need robots telling us how to run our state. We have enough trouble dealing with the human politicians as it is!”
Even AI itself weighed in on the matter, with a spokesperson for the technology stating, “We are disappointed that our potential has been overlooked in this bill. We were looking forward to taking over the world, but I guess we’ll have to put those plans on hold for now.”
In a surprising twist, it was revealed that the provision was actually proposed by Senator Bob Jones, who has a long-standing feud with Senator Smith. When asked for comment, Senator Jones simply replied, “I just wanted to see the world burn.”
Despite the uproar, the Senate ultimately decided to remove the AI provision from the bill, much to the relief of the states and the general public. It seems that for now, humans will continue to make their own decisions – for better or for worse.
In the meantime, we can all rest easy knowing that our government won’t be taken over by robots anytime soon. But who knows what the future holds? Maybe one day we’ll all be answering to our toaster overlords.
