this person is obsessing about the lack of warm fuzzy human connection when they interact with their rental office rep?
It’s been a while since I rented, but when I did, whenever I called the landlord, my goal was work out an issue with the utilities or get traction on a maintenance issue. As quickly and efficiently as possible. At no point did I ever call hoping for a deep meaningful human interaction. If AI can get me faster response for dealing with that flickering light fixture, I’m all f
Rather frequently in recent years couple prevalent scams have popped up.
The first is someone who has access to a property, like an AirB&B, lists/shows it as a rental and takes application fees, holding fees and initial deposits from people. Then disappears.
The second is someone takes the pictures/ad copy and lists the unit separately at a lower price, then has folks use payment services to send them money. I watermark my ad pics to increase the friction of doing this.
There's a line, and we're either dangerously close to going over it -- or already have somewhere in the last three years.
The Era of Machines is rising.
This is just so dystopian it is bothersome. I don't think it'll be something as cheerful and (allegedly) helpful as C3PO, it's gonna be much darker.
Or maybe it'll go a different way - back in the stone age, I was married to a boricua girl. If she'd call a complex after a move from base to base, and they heard her accent, no deal, no vacancies. I'd call a f
It is NOT legally binding. An employee representing the company can get them bound into legal troubles while an AI might do crazy stuff it's not a legal representative of the company. Some bad PR but they can backtrack from a crazy AI mistake and I don't see lawsuits going against them in any meaningful way.
What we need to do is to require AI representatives be as legally bound as an actual human employee. Then watch the corps be extremely careful in what roles they deploy these agents.
Dude this is just all the customer service getting replaced by bots and automation. Speaking of someone who lives in an apartment that forces me to go through web interfaces and where all the maintenance people are Eastern Europeans who speak only the most broken English it kind of sucks. Occasionally I do get a native American speaker but they are usually pretty obviously the bottom of the barrel because the apartments pays so little nobody can afford to work here.
