Yeah, treating ppl like humans costs things. It always comes down to these right wingers refusing to spend resources to treat anything other than themselves with any concern at all.

Contractors running Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities can rely more heavily on artificial intelligence tools to communicate with detainees while continuing to pay people they hold $1 per day for “voluntary work,” under relaxed detention standards released Monday.
ICE said the standards, which apply to for-profit contractors and jails that hold detainees, were revised with input from partners to “reduce the burden on our detention operators.” Experts said the changes would help contractors limit legal liability, reduce costs and get more operational flexibility while doing little, if anything, to improve conditions for roughly 60,000 people currently detained.
Ah, using "AI" to improve modern slavery, as was intended.
The fact that they even say this like it's a "good thing" is just another sign of how truly fucked up the U.S. has become.
