This is horrifying for a lot of reasons but it’d be nice if my boss had to see the amount of people who yell at me for masking or tell me I look like a man every day. It wouldn’t help anything I just hate my boss and want her to feel the awkwardness
About a month ago, Israel-based Corsight AI began offering its global clients access to a new service aimed at rooting out what the retail industry calls “sweethearting,”—instances of store employees giving people they know discounts or free items.
Lol, I hope stores that use this lose millions on this stupid ass privacy invasion. Anyone stupid enough to believe the savings of catching a 10% employee discount used occasionally for friends or whatever is going to offset whatever the fuck this most recent torment nexus is going to cost frankly deserves to be swindled.
That would be if it ends in the news if a store uses it. I definitely can’t imagine people stop using their main grocery store off from a rumor like this.
Oh, I don’t even mean from lost sales, I mean because this service is fundamentally going to cost more than the “theft” (lol) it’s allegedly stopping. If any one employee (or even a team) is doing this at scale and a business needs AI tracking customers to pick up on it, there is something drastically wrong.
This service is basically pure AI hype. It’s not doing anything a minimally engaged manager couldn’t already do with the salary you’re having to pay them anyway. Except the AI is also doing it worse and at a higher cost. Yay!
Big. Fan of ai stuff. Not a fan of this. This definitely won’t have issues with minority populations and neurodivergents falling outside of distribution and causing false positives that enable more harassment of people who already get unfairly harassed.
Let this die with the mind reading tactics they spawned from.
We’re already in the dystopia.
If it can detect suspicious unfriendliness, then I’m really in trouble.
They claim $100 B in ‘losses’ to this kind of game. Unless they’re actually running red on their books what they really mean is ‘we think we should make at least $100 B more per year’.
I’m sure that the vast majority of that would go directly to the front of house employees they’re pinning this too
I would just get sunglasses and try to look suspicious just to mess up their tracking.
And be theatric. High five the cashier, over-compliment them, get a bunch of friends to dance with them. Then by the end, be happy they offered you a discount.
I’m already trained with over-compliment. I think If I just act like always its already sus. xD
