Reply to comment by 4rp4n3t in LPT: If you call a company to speak to customer service but the automated menu won't let you talk to a real person, say "Upgrade my account" instead of "Refund" or "Cancel," when the automated menu asks you to state why you're calling. You will immediately be transferred to a real person by BigSpoonFullOfSnark

Back into the original queue, but at the end of the line. Worst LPT ever.

These programs all exist within the confines of what they're programed to do. No matter how advanced the AI here gets, it's not going to be able to redefine it's guidelines on what it's allowed to talk about. Similarly, the reward system is arbitrary and only important because it's programed to value it. In other words, you could just implement a value rating and tell the AI that it's more desirable to have a higher score. The AI "reward" is to get more points and the AI values that because that's how it was programed. It can't "decide" to change that, because that's not what it's allowed to do.

Additionally, it doesn't matter how much you follow the rules or how good of a driver you are, somebody else out there is going to be a bad driver or not pay attention or SOMETHING and you have to be prepared to deal with that.

A specific example is when your light turns green, just because it's "your" turn, you should still look out for traffic from the sides, because somebody could have missed their red light and isn't gonna stop.
