Wonder how many AI deaths have occured that we dont know about(since they presumably died). With the adoption numbers we are seeing it much have happened already.

I'd be surprised if it was less than hundreds, or more than hundreds of thousands.

High hundreds of thousands feels like the upper limit before it would show up in statistically noticeable changes in patterns of deaths in some demographic.

High hundreds of individuals would still be "one in a million fatal errors over a few years", which seems better than I'd expect given I've personally had ChatGPT tell me that Solanum nigrum berries were "black tomatoes" (they're not usually fatal, but are a bit toxic, and no I did not eat them).
