Didn’t amazon pull the same stunt with their “fully automated shopping experience“ within their stores?
That was to “train” it, they didn’t have it fully setup, so humans were verifying orders, and it was getting more and more automated.
Like it’s gotta be coded, programmed and setup by humans anyways, so they just tried a different method. You either pay people to test it by hand, or they start letting people use it and continue to set it up that way while working behind the scenes.
Or at least tray’s what their PR teams said. They were’t very open with that u til they got caught with their pants down
The metrics say other wise, they were ramping up.
And you are gonna argue a company trying to automate as much as they can and hates human labor, wants to use it in this singular case? Come on, anything can be shined in a bad light, but this is the one time where it’s most likely not.
And all you’re doing is showing you have a bias, and facts will never change your mind, which is not a productive conversation, so I’m out now.
I like having my mind changed, but your source for the “metrics” and the other stuff you said was trust me bro. Anyway, no hard feelings.
Why am I going to provide information after you’ve already shown your prejudice? That’s just wasting everyone’s time lmfao.
You can lie now to try and save face, but no you don’t want the facts. Anything provided to you will merely be brushed away as PR. I mean from your comment we would assume you’ve seen them, you just don’t want to believe them already, you said it’s PR. So can facts change your mind? Or is everything PR. Your trolling tells us you don’t want to have conversations, you just want to cry about Amazon.
Oh hi, I thought you didn’t want to continue. I have a strong bias, as everyone but I’m not immune to facts. Just a link will do to suggest it’s not PR. Anyway no hard feelings like I said :)
Everyone is biased. Civilized discourse starts when this is acknowledged and accepted. Calling out someone because they won’t accept trust me bro as a source is just rubs me the wrong way is all.
Opinions*, bias and prejudice do not fall into that category. People rarely realize this and always push their views as acceptance or need for tolerance. Fascists don’t need to be tolerated, so yes there are absolutely cases that can’t be argued for, so don’t try, doing so puts you as one of these groups. You can’t have a civilized conversation about the earth with a flat-earther, that’s why bias and prejudice aren’t what you claim they are….
Man being called out so accurately REALLY got under your skin eh? And where did I say trust me as a source, this is now twice you've claimed this fallaciously. Which not surprising that you would try it with your apparantly “civilized” conversation.
