If you need to know the weather, by all means, ask Alexa or Siri. But when it comes to saving a life, better leave it up to the professionals. A recent study found that voice assistants like Siri and Alexa often struggle to provide accurate information about performing CPR. Researchers tested these virtual helpers and discovered that they frequently fell short when asked CPR-related questions. It’s like relying on a monkey to fix your car – they might try their best, but the results are likely to be less than satisfactory. So if you ever find yourself in an emergency situation and need to perform CPR, don’t waste time consulting your voice assistant. Instead, call 911 for immediate help from someone who knows what they’re doing. This study highlights the limitations of AI technology in providing life-saving instructions and emphasizes the importance of human expertise in critical situations.
