For goodness' sake.

My whole point is that THE ROADS USED TO BELONG TO HUMANS, TOO. I would be hypothetically getting myself arrested for the cause of taking it back.

But this woman hasn't proven that the sidewalks are being invaded because... well, you can see in the video the robots aren't bothering a lot of pedestrians. At least no more than a toddler or dog standing in your immediate path might.

This woman has proven that you will be arrested for blocking a robot. That, itself, is useful for agitating people.

People today don't think the roads belong to pedestrian traffic and you can't change that by blocking traffic; people do think sidewalks belong to pedestrian traffic, and so you can raise the contradictions of delivery robots invading our sidewalks by getting arrested for blocking them.

Once again, you have not explained what she should do. Should we all just lay down and let the robots take everything from us?

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
