Lol. Lmao even
And get it blatantly wrong.. not that a human wont also, but just like the computer, humans can be conditioned to defend the exploitative conditions of their own existence.
AI will always be more wrong than a trained professional.
Trained professionals are the 0% loss target. Infinite training has been proven to never approach 5% loss by OpenAI in 2020 and Deepmind in 2023.
It's management who fucked up, but let's blame it on software because what we really care about is hating the software.
Utterly delicious.
LMFAO
I expect exactly this level of competence from Uber.
They knew. They always knew. But you gotta bonus yourself amirite?
I don't think it's a problem for them at all. They lose significantly less than the workers they 'replace' with AI. Relatively speaking, they come out on top by a huge margin. And that seems to be the main point.
Of course, there's also the question of how well that AI will perform compared to workers it supposedly replaced. So far it doesn't seem to be going well. Perhaps it doesn't need to. Who knows.
