also, there are plenty of text to speech tools that just record and don't analyze and they've existed for nearly my entire life. we've got to stop allowing people to conflate direct, non-generative tools with genAI when they have a financial incentive to do so

in other words, whether you're using Bus Éireann or TFI real time tracking / journey planning, it will always tell you that the 355 picks up and drops off at the hospital, but in fact it only does so when it goes all the way to Cahir. if it's the other, it terminates before then
