earlier today i was biking past a ped crossing and heard a robot voice saying "pedestrian signal: red" or something and i was like ??? we have audible pedestrian signals now? but i didnt have time to stop, so i came back later today and checked it out and no. the signal does not speak. what the hell did i hear

my theory is that there may have been someone at the crossing with a vision assistance app on their phone and that that is what i heard

maybe i heard the last functioning humane ai pin
