If it takes a whole 60 seconds for this glorified camera-carwash contraption to scan a vehicle and generate a report, they are charging $11,400/hour.
Hertz, I will personally sit on a roller stool with a camera and make beep boop sounds for that dough. Take my resume.
Yeah but you are a person presumably, so there is accountability. The reason to use AI is to escape accountability
yeah but then theyd have to pay ya instead of pocketing almost everything and getting a robot to do it for them.
The jo is harder than that. You have to occasionally say "enhance".
Yeah, but can I also occasionally hallucinate like many AI’s apparently do?
LLMs only hallucinate.
Sometimes those hallucinations correlate with reality.
A couple tabs of acid and you can do whatever you want
That's what they are hoping for so they can charge their customers for damages that don't exist and go computers don't make mistakes when you complain.
