Recently scheduled an oil change for my Chevy Truck.
Had some problem with the password entry.
(No, I don’t forget them. I use a password manger and Apple Passwords also saves them!)
Password reset TWICE?
Argh!
So I’m suitable annoyed but I get it entered. (Even had to put in the VIN. I bought it there. Their system should know it. Probably Claude AI (I call it Claudia), CHATGPT, Google, every data broker , and hacker all know it. Argh!
SO it’s booked.
TWO DAYS later, I get a call from a nice lady at the dealer saying the online system schedule me for a time that they don’t have available. And we rescheduled it a week later.
So, their online system schedules an appointment slot that they don’t have.
How dumb is that! Sigh! Yeah, AI and computers will rule the world. Not as long as Murphy’s Law is operable.
So how much of my TAE (ie., time, attention, effort, and dikw), my compute, as well as the dealer’s computing, and their receptionist’t TAE did this all cost?
I guess I should have done it the old fashioned way and just called in at the beginning.
So that’s what I’ll do from know on.
So the dealer’s computer “front door” is just a waste of their resources!
So much for AI wiping out humans’ jobs!
Sigh! Argh! Laugh!
