So, son has kind of a job he is working on an interim basis at Amazon in the warehouse, although it is taxing physically, and his hours are generally something odd like 1 am to about 6AM he likes it in a sense because he is very close to where he is living. He likes to joke (no joke)his commute is 10 minutes..Anyway, he ran into a problem where he got a note on his employee account that he was being given -4 points for being late or missing work or something.. He said he never was, and has had perfect attendance. So, he had to report the problem to AI, rather than a human supervisor. Apparently, it is all straightened out now..but he said it was very impersonal.

@snowy22315 Exactly, as we said in the old days of computers when a program did not work "GIGO" (garbage in, garbage out).

I wouldn’t like that either, especially if it affected my job.

I do not like AI, too much now, I think this is going to become a problem in the near future. We need to deal with humans, not robots.

Or at least a human that reviews the robot's decisions.

@LadyDuck Well, I don't mind if they have something useful or helpful to say. Usually it is just there to try to cut down on interactions that cost the company time. They have the tech to be better, they just aren't.

@snowy22315 - exactly I hate all those AI robots to answer your questions when you need to know something.

That's terrible. I was excited about AI at first, but now I don't like it.
