This is going to backfire horribly. My sympathies to the future victims of this badly conceived idea.

    In theory if it works, that could be amazing. But judging by every single "AI" product I've seen, its gonna kill people

    "I have sent help to put out that fire in your kitchen" "Have you really? I don't think there is anyone coming!" "I'm sorry you are right. This was meant to keep you calm. I don't have the capability to send help."

    It something like that

    No, it's absolutely terrible. AI can't take a call from a domestic abuse victim pretending to order pizza so that the abuser standing next to them doesn't catch on that they're pleading for help. This will get people killed.
