This week my boss used AI to search our contract to see if certain functionality our client said we failed to provide in our RFQ. AI replied with 100% we owed it
Me not trusting AI, found the section and saw the verbage was 'recommends' but not a hard must do.
AI almost cost us 6 figures easy

What they said: "self driving cars will improve road safety by removing human error entirely"
What they did: Robot hit and runs

FWIW, the "Once the pedestrian had moved out of the path of the vehicle, the car pulled away" is also how a Waymo robot hit and ran a cyclist.
Once the hit cyclist got up and moved out of the way, the robot drove off. Waymo had to send someone to track it down and drive it back to the scene.

At first I thought this was an odd or even unfair summary of themes in the Supernatural series, but...
No, those are probably the two most common and fundamental tenets of the entire Supernatural universe.

While we're all dreading the pending endumbification of the future generations by AI, let's not forget the current batch of humans whose idea of a tech report involves a sponsor shout and repeating phrases like "like and subscribe."

The use of AI should be noted clearly on the cover, cover page, or ToC so readers can choose another book by an author who still writes.
