It is only Monday evening and the week has already had ENOUGH of improperly programmed and monitored AI agents and automations. It seems that virtually everu business is usingthem biut I am encountering SO many that are impropery debugged, improperly implemented and just plain useless.
The bottomline is that many businesses are spending a fortune to ruin their business. In the past few days, I encountered a utility company, phone company, bank, and a plethora of auto sales digital buffoons.
The source of the problem is twofold:
1). Companies are falling victim to idiots that purchased a course and are telling you how $10,000 will generate a fortune in revenue and tens of thousands more in needless human payroll and;
2). Many companies are not debugging the automations and/or providing human oversight into the use and applications of the technology. I have stressed many times in my posts that virtually all technology needs human oversight and testing.
I attempted to buy a new car....trouble was that the dealer's AI scraped other listings and illustrated cars fpr sale that were not on the subject dealer lot!!! I drove 100 miles to buy a particular car and alas, it was not there. I found it on another dealer's website (wasn't hard to find). The dealer that I drove to really did not help either as they began copntacting me about cars I had zero interest in.
To make a long story short and the moral of the story is also twofold:
1). When browsing online and filling out forms, ALWAYS use and email address that you seldom check and ditto for the mobile number.
2). Use a fake name....when you begin to receive soliciations from cpmpanies with that name in the text or email, you will know where it came from and can stop it.
