I'm not surprised it's bad but it's an actual fun use for AI

I live in East Asia, where public transport is given major funding and has high ridership. There is no law requiring people to move their cars for an ambulance and people just don't bother. Ambulances routinely get stuck in traffic.

Not to defend our shitty car-centric society but most places in the US aren't so bad. I would guess that New York in particular presents more challenges for smooth ambulance traffic than almost anywhere else in the country due to its high traffic density and relatively narrow roads and streets. People likely want to move and can't. Excluding bicycle issues, Americans are pretty good about observing traffic laws and knowing when to give way. (but yes, to a German person, American drivers probably seem like troglodytes)

Cyber official... Is this 1996?

Eh, I'd argue that the format is somewhat obsolete. When you have to travel to a cinema and pay an entry fee, the content needs to justify that effort

Now that most content is consumed at home, feature films don't necessarily need to exist as they have. The TV show format has adapted to the British model of a few short seasons, maybe just one.

For certain types of feature film, I'd much rather see a miniseries that allows even more content to get screen time and tells a more developed story (documentaries have moved in this direction).

(Yes there are great feature films still being made and I never said there aren't... But the vast majority are not worth the time they demand that I give them)

I prefer podcasts over all other media

I also enjoy video games.

I don't think that feature-length films make sense in this environment. They're long, formulaic, and somewhat predictable because of that

The entire crypto industry is just a circle of dogs, all sniffing the butt of the dog ahead as they walk in an endless circle.
