alt Hacker NewsHaha it's a good analogy, i'm being a little bit argumentative for the sake of it potentially.
I guess in my view - the main alternative you'd have beforehand is just to drown.
For me, AI sits in a space where if you know how to use it, it can tell you all the thin spots of the ice accurately. You can then verify those spots, but there's a level of personal responsibility of verification.
I'd agree there's currently a ton of people that are using these tools to essentially just find the specific route - but i'd argue those people probably shouldn't be skating in the first place, and would've fallen one way or the other.

Before most who didn't know the ice didn't went out on it, today a lot of people who shouldn't be there go far out on the ice.

Right, but AFAICT most people just venture over the ice and don't bother to check. In fact a lot of people venture there, do check once or twice, then check less and less frequently. The fact that you do it is great but others seem a lot less careful, until cracks start to show and then it might be too late.
