AI tips, tricks, faults, and failures

On my tire purchase today it gave me a script and told me I should offer Discount Tire $1,275 for a specific set of tires for my wife's car. I didn't follow the script perfectly and asked the salesman to give me his best price (this was after he had already given me pretty close to a full retail price earlier in the day and I had been stewing on it). He hemmed and hawed and threw out $1,276.59. I told him AI had told me to offer him $1,275 so he dropped it down to $1,273.56. Pretty close to $150 off the price he had quoted me earlier that day.

It is weird though because it often gets retail prices wrong even when they are listed on a website. You really need to double check it when it tells you how much something is going to cost.

We’ve used it to diagnose car problems and it’s been spot on.

it told me to take an angle grinder to my hub assembly if the "fit was a little tight". FU Chat, I'm not applying for a Darwin award.

Turns out you actually have to completely disassemble the hub to replace a tire stud on the front of our fit. There is no port to simply pound them out the back.

Man. Maybe I've gone full curmudgeon at this point, but I refuse to touch it. I'd rather get to the wrong answer on my own.

As is shown in this thread, you don't even know on HT whether you're talking to a human or not. That scares the shit out of me.

The dead internet theory is not really a theory any more.
