When the alarm goes off in your building… you evacuate. Doesn’t matter if it’s a test or not.
Exactly. It’s literally the point of a test.
It’s literally the point of a fire drill.
A scheduled test of the equipment, with the alarms going off randomly all day as the tester gets to them, doesn’t require you to evacuate.
Such a test is always supposed to be preceded by ample warning notifications, so people will be extra careful not to set real fires while the building is vulnerable.
And also is supposed to be monitored with people actually watching for fires so they can manually evacuate people if a fire does break out during the test. (Requirements may vary by jurisdiction of course)
Read the post, the follow up explains she was already outside at the designated meeting point per policy and just making a Slack thread to talk about it.
Glad to see this is a top comment.
AI offering unsolicited advice on emergency situations is a fresh, new level of hell.
I came here to say that only an idiot would ask an AI to explain a fire alarm, but then I actually read the post and holy shit. It was an AI agent responding on slack. So yea, this is serious.
I mean, they’re still an idiot. When the fire alarm goes off you get the hell out of the building, not start a group chat on Slack.
OOP clarified that they did leave the building first.
Subject: Fire. Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to inform you of a fire that has broken out on the premises of 123 Cavendon Road… no, that’s too formal. Fire - exclamation mark - fire - exclamation mark - help me - exclamation mark. 123 Cavendon Road. Looking forward to hearing from you. Yours truly, Maurice Moss.
It’s going to give you the “most likely” answer, stated with utter confidence. Alarm tests happen more often than real alarms.
But then … shouldn’t it be saying “whether or not this is a test, you should follow your building’s emergency evacuation procedures immediately”?
Never use AI for advice…
They didn’t. It was unsolicited.
We should just treat AI like I treat Jim Cramer. Do exactly the opposite of what it says.
who is he?
The absolute best stock adviser on tv, so long as you follow 13igtyme’s advice lol
p.s. NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE
I think you misunderstood. I do the opposite of Jim Cramer. If he says buy, I sell. If he says sell, I buy.
