I thought air Canada bot gave out wrong info to the customer, who the company then said wasn’t entitled to the rebate program the bot told the customer was a thing, so the customer had to sue them for the extra money the bot told the customer to spend. There was ANOTHER AI fuckup by aircanada? Lol

So not only are they making the user experience way, way worse, they are trying to cut all costs and shovel them off onto us. I don’t remember where I read it, probably here a couple weeks ago, but I read and article stating how companies use the internet backwards. Instead of the internet being a tool for its customers, companies use it as a tool to protect themselves from the customers. We are filtered through purposefully aggravating automated call systems, or put through Chatbots as a measure to simplify us.

Is anyone down for a fucking Revolution against this insanely backwards concept of modern life? I am.

I love how in the “FAQs” of that agreement, there is no “why.” Which is surely the most F of the A’d Q’s.

lol it’s not. That’s the point. It’s all the same sort of companies putting these fucking things out. Google and Facebook are both working on their own AI. It’s been shown over and over how they’re scraping all available data—public or private when available—so why the fuck would a newer tech company be any different? It’s the state of capitalism. The markets are focusing more on hyper focused data, so that’s what any profitable tech company is doing. Invading your fucking privacy.

That’s why it’s not a surprise. Because Facebook and google helped set the trend and determine the current tech market. And that’s the world these new “AI girlfriends” are existing in.

I mean, I’m all for better insulated homes. I will say it’ll be hard to convince people to go for this aesthetic, though. It’s very 80s.

An explosion of CP, probably.

Yeah. Saw that one coming.

Like, *** r***, though. What **** could that p******* *e?

Yeah, that’s part of what they do. When you first sign up, you can’t believe it. Everyone so good looking, seemingly interesting. But then they start funneling you and paywalling the people that more people “like.” It’s a business.

What word is supposed to be censored there.

I love humanity. Further enmeshing private, vicious capital with the dubious methods used by law enforcement to clear cases and put up numbers while we all suffer.

👍CAPITALISM👍

I’d argue the opposite. Capitalism doesn’t enrich society. It enriches capitalism. Any “benefit” to society is purely for selfish reasons. Its motives being corrupt, its actions are not noble.

[there being no safety nets] is a government problem, not a company’s

Capitalism ruined this too. Lobbyists, special interest “donations” (read: bribes), are all done by companies just like this one. They’ll lobby for harmful laws, under the guise of “but driverless cars are for the people’s safety!” All the while, evading taxes and lobbying against closing those tax loopholes or raising taxes to help the workers who now have no job.

These things don’t exist in a vacuum. Especially in today’s late stage of capitalism, there is no moral behavior from these companies, because they are wading into a world where their very existence offers them and seemingly implores them to do harm for their bottom line. There is no “church and state” separation between capital and governance. They are a rat king, further entangled by every new company making their way into this utterly corrupt marketplace of crookery and exploitation. We can’t ignore what’s happened over and over and over and over again because this time the benefit will surely outweigh the harm done to achieve profitability!
