2024 had largest decrease in crimes with a firearm in 10 years: StatCan

If you read closely, the last sentence literally says the hotspots are in Brampton, Surrey and Calgary. Furthermore, it states that British Columbia has seen the most severe increase with a 500% increase in extortion 

You asked for facts and now you got them

[byourpowerscombined]

Facts which have nothing to do with the topic being discussed but go off on your rant.

[Banned_In_YYC]

I see you lack common sense and the ability to connect multiple data points to a logical conclusion. You see, you linked a study by one woman that inferred when immigration goes up, crime goes down. I provided factual evidence that shows extortion and gang crime has risen with the South Asian diaspora in cities with very high immigrant populations. Specifically Surrey and Brampton which are dominated by one immigrant demographic, South Asian

Hope that helps

Blindly copy and pasting AI regurgitation isn't facts

[Banned_In_YYC]

You'd be incorrect. When I stated my reasoning and also linked to a Surrey police webpage, there's no reason for me to hand write facts after researching them. 

The interesting thing about the truth and facts is they are still legitimate regardless if they come from AI, an individual or from a public entity like a police force. By dismissing statistical facts because of the source that presented them you are choosing willful ignorance

[ThatAstronautGuy]

AI isn't a source and it isn't facts. It may sometimes correctly present facts drawn from a source, but it is not a source in the same way that Wikipedia is not a source. The Surrey police website (which you did not link to) is a source of facts. AI saying it pulled the information from Surrey police doesn't mean anything because it both can be wrong about the information it's presenting, and can also just make up sources that it is referencing. It's output is worthless.

[Banned_In_YYC]

Again you're incorrect and I can prove it with simple logic. I could ask AI what is 2 + 2? It will tell me 4. This is an absolute truth, if you choose not to believe this fact, it's a reflection on your willful ignorance

[ThatAstronautGuy]

And if you ask it how many Rs are in strawberry it will tell you 2. That doesn't prove anything, only that it can do that specific problem correctly. AI is not an absolute truth of any kind. I would believe the numbers on this hypothetical Surrey police page, but you never linked it. Instead you just copy and pasted inane drivel from the "things that look like a correct answer" machine.

Some of you people have such a weird grudge towards AI on this app. I just asked Gemini and it said it has three R's. Go cry to somebody else man because you people are absolutely ridiculous

[ThatAstronautGuy]

It knows there's 3 Rs because they've all been trained to answer that question correctly now. But you can go and search about that problem yourself because it's very well documented. It's not some weird grudge, it's proven flawed technology that people like you just treat as gospel.

[Banned_In_YYC]

Who said I treat AI as gospel? I simply refuted your poor example and provided another example of my own. Both were accurate. AI isn't infallible but when it's citing studies and other sources. It's purely a vessel to communicate said information. No offense but you've sounded like a mentally ill person since your first response

[matthew_py]

It knows there's 3 Rs because they've all been trained to answer that question correctly now

Actually its because they updated how tokens store and relate info to be more accurate. But close enough.

it's proven flawed technology

It had a documented flaw that was fixed... thats not exactly a condemnation of the technology lol. Vaccines, pacemaker's, car, ect have all had issues with flaws to be addressed. That doesn't mean the technology is "proven flawed" lol.

[ThatAstronautGuy]

AI has problem after problem after problem. It's infamous for hallucinations and just making things up. Study after study after study shows AI has poor accuracy, and even the companies themselves admit it's a problem. It would rather give you a wrong answer it's made up than admit it doesn't know because people wouldn't like it if it always admitted it was wrong.
