just wait till they start denying health insurance with it

I'm sorry ma'am I know you're upset, but the AI said it's not covered. The AI is numbers, and numbers don't lie.

Too many people these days don't use or have access to credit cards for services like this. Many people I know only use bank debit cards, or worse, use the debit preloaded cash cards issued by their employers' payroll service provider.

Credit cards motivate banks to help you, because if you won't pay, and the business doesn't pay, the bank has to take the hit.

Debit cards will work as well if your bank values it's reputation - but not all banks do.

And I would not trust a preloaded card provider to assist. You are neither their business partner nor their customer and that puts your interests at the bottom of a very long list. You have to hope some law is on your side or that your issue is so trivial that resolving it is more cost effective then dealing with you.

Do they already not do that? They just call it "the computer".

Credit cards are also an instrument of christofascist pedophiles who want to ban all pornography and 'pornography' (they consider the existence of queer people to be porn)

I paid a $300 deposit to reserve a moving company in five days.

The associate on the phone told me to read the terms carefully online

I said sure and skimmed it. Then paid the emailed invoice. I shopped around and found a rate 40% cheaper.

So I called the next day. 20 hours later. Spoke to the same associate and she said no refund because it's within 7 days of the appointment.

I wasn't having it. Yes it's in the terms. Don't care. She knew the booking was not refundable and said read the terms instead of fucking telling me that on our phone call.

I called her right the fuck out. We spoke on the phone. I didn't self service online.
I told her I saw the terms and I don't care. I called 20 hours after our previous call and she knew the deposit was not refundable. That's shady as fuck.

I demanded a refund. She pointed to terms.
I said I was going to issue a charge back and blast them online in every platform I could find.

She spoke to the owner and I got my refund.

Your confusing payment processors with credit cards. They arnt the same things.

Credit cards are an agnostic tool of many systems. It would be like getting pissed at a Toyota truck because of Elon musk owns a company that happens to make a sedan and both sedans and trucks are automobiles.

If your going to be outraged, at least go educate yourself so you don't look like an idiot.

Except they are using computer vision, not an LLM

I think it's generally a brilliant solution but there are a couple of problems here:

1. The scanner seems to flag fucking everything and charge for minor damage where a human would probably flag it as wear.
2. No one is allowed to correct the scanner:

Perturbed by the apparent mistake, the user tried to speak to employees and managers at the Hertz counter, but none were able to help, and all "pointed fingers at the 'AI scanner.'" They were told to contact customer support — but even that proved futile after representatives claimed they "can’t do anything."

Sounds to me like they're just trying to replace those employees. That's why they won't let them interfere.

Enterprise and Alamo is owned by the same family which means they aren’t beholden to public shareholders. Usually this means the company is ran better and not as haphazardly as public ones tend to be.

Society typically understands "there's nothing wrong with x" to mean it's performing within acceptable boundaries, and not to mean that it has achieved perfection.

Do you hold everything to such a standard?

Stop lights are meant to direct traffic. If someone runs a red light, is the technology not working as it should?

The technology here, using computer vision to automatically flag potential damage, needed to be implemented alongside human supervision - an employee should be able to walk by the car, see that the flagged damage doesn't actually exist, and override the algorithm.

The technology itself isn't bad, it's how hertz is using it that is.

I believe the unfortunate miscommunication here is that when @Ulrich@feddit.org said the solution was brilliant, they were referring to the technology as the "solution", and others are referring to the implementation as a whole as the "solution"

It's the same lane moron. It can be both imperfect and also nothing wrong with it.

The technology isn't there to accurately assess damage. It's there to give Hertz an excuse to charge you extra money. It's working exactly as the ghouls in the C-suite like.

Never rent a car from Hertz, check.

Stop light analogy is completely unequivocal

You’re admitting the technology is in fact flawed if you think it needed to be implemented with supervision. An uno reverse is, every set of traffic lights needs a traffic controller to stop drivers running red lights. Unequivocal, right?

Just stop because you’re wrong, lol

It’s doing neither

Given that it’s not solving the problem it was implemented to solve, there is something wrong with it. AI is garbage, you can’t change my mind
