    Sure they haven’t. 🤦‍♂️

    I commend your optimism/open mind, I’ve just seen the abuse by anyone in a position of authority too many times.

    And I mean any authority, middle management at companies, etc. Many people struggle to resist using whatever power they have (myself included).

      I think enabling the functionality would require too much back-office and vendor integration to make it a feasible lie. Too many people would know about it - and the risks from lying and saying ‘not enabled’ are too great.

      If they had been enabled - and found out - the recommended lie would be “we are currently undertaking a small-scale trial of the technology to assess it’s effectveness. We will be report on the results early next year as part of a wider public consultation into it’s wider deployment”. (Why yes, I have worked in public sector comms).

        Or it means they’re not using that specific function, but are still gathering data and training the AI or something.
