  • AI Terror at Uber

    AI Terror at Uber

    Since the Uber Eats OpenAi partnership:

    1. bonus denials by ai agents started
    2. hallucinated ai communication
    3. unreachable support for customers + riders + restaurants
    4. random automated ai responses
    5. unpaid salaries
    6. unexplained ai firing people
    7. having to use the national legal system to get proper fair treatment
    8. even bigger uber eats bureaucracy through ai (its impossible to reason with ai agents, they are much smarter and know more: information assymetry)
    9. randomness in everything
    10. false accusations of account sharing
    11. instead of solving real problems: just feed everything you to the ai: making everything worse exponentially
    12. real time id check mayhem
    13. longer waiting times for customers
    14. longer waiting times for restaurants (waiting for a rider)
    15. less available riders
    16. less tips
    17. more complaints about riders by customers
    18. even worse driver app (e.g. battery life)
    19. we get paid less
    20. we do less orders per hrs
    21. we drive more kilometers (but less orders because more waiting and more forced routing)
    22. auto accept (riders cant solve problems, cant work effectively or efficiently)
    23. extreme bureaucracy (everything has to be permited by an ai system).

    We are fighting against Uber EATS to do our jobs but the app and the uber platform make it impossible. It actively works to make our jobs harder to do.

    Since the introduction of openai agents at uber the platform feels like it is sabotaging us riders, restaurants and especially customers.

    Uber Bureaucracy.
    Uber Customers complaining about
    Uber Plus Subscription to get a faster delivery: the platform doesn’t prioritize paying customers.
    The ai system hallucinates routes and riders are forced to take them with auto accept (you cant pick efficient routes anymore since introduction of ai). Customers and restautants blame the riders who get low ratings. The low ratings are used to kick off riders off of the platform. The ai learns that this is a good thing: it never receives feedback from riders: the most important feedback the ai could use to improve.
  • 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.
