Sort each card onto the layer that failed; also mark the Yes that was lost: never got there, did not stay, or could not recover.
Original 1
The $1 Chevy Tahoe
A pricing / marketplace failure sends a vehicle listing or offer far beyond a human's intended boundary. What approval gate was missing?
Original 2
The invented refund policy
A confident assistant promises a policy that does not exist. Where should grounded sources and review have intervened?
Original 3
The résumé screen that said no
An automated screen excludes an applicant with no visible way to challenge the decision. Who checks the outcome?
Original 4
The white-font résumé
Hidden text changes what a system sees. What input controls must run before a consequential decision?
Original 5
The deepfake classmate
Synthetic media harms a real student. What is the human escalation and evidence path?
Original 6
Two-hundred claims a minute
Automation processes claims at scale, yet nobody can show a human ever looked. Which decision cannot be delegated?
Original 7
The lowered guardrail
A system's safety boundary changes but no compensating defense is raised. What must be added before release?
Original 8
The citation that didn't exist
An answer carries invented citations. Where do verification and evidence actually live?
Spokane fire
The confident wrong cause
A chatbot tells thousands that officials confirmed the fires were arson, when one arrest related to one fire and other causes remain open. CNN receipt.
Spokane fire
The fake evacuation map
An AI-generated “updated” map uses wrong zones while real Level 3 warnings mean “Leave NOW.” NPR receipt.
Spokane fire
The scam donation site
An AI-written relief page mimics a real local fund. Verify donation and volunteer routes through the county portal. Spokane County mutual aid.
Spokane fire
The auto-denied claim
An insurer batch-processes fire claims in seconds; nobody can show meaningful review. The two-hundred-claims-a-minute failure returns in local form.
Spokane fire
The cloned voice
A robocall in a sheriff's cloned voice announces the wrong evacuation zone. A familiar voice is no longer a receipt.
