  • Uber AI Bureaucracy

    Uber AI Bureaucracy

    uber is using ai to manipulate and deny bonus payments and hide behind thick layers of ai bureaucracy to discourage any correction of payments.

    Workers report that their work is not counted correctly. This always happens when bonus threasholds are involved: the ai is denying bonus payments to execute the prompts it’s being fed.

    sometimes the ai just makes things up to deny payment and then we have to go through uber bureaucracy for our salaries.

    However the ai is so good at hiding and obfuscating trails that it is hard to get our salaries paid, even if we know where we need to be. One of the first changes was to make stats invisible to drivers and turning off screenshots!) The advanced ai models are smarter and know more.

  • More Ai, Less Pay

    More Ai, Less Pay

    Paying less through ai manipulation

    Ai can be used to optimize inventives and empower workers to earn more while being more productive. However, that’s not where the openai + uber partnership is heading.

    Since the introduction of ai at uber in Netherlands and elsewhere workers report less pay, manipulation by ai prompts, deceptive support, blackbox payslips: and ultimately getting paid far less than before the introduction of ai.

    At the same time, customers report lower service levels and also have a hard time reaching support.

    But uber itself hides behind bureaucracy and being hard to reach or even impossible to reach. Let the Dutch legal system deal with it: not the company. Blame it all on riders, customers, restaurants, laws and regulations, workers rights, workers protections: its never the fault of ai or uber: its always someone else to blame.
