  • 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.

    Working with Uber’s Toxic Ai

    Delivery workers are more powerful than the uber ai thinks. We can actually talk to customers and explain what is going on and why their meals are delivered too late.

    Obfuscation & Ai Bureaucracy

    Companies like Uber use ai solutions to manipulate workers to do impossible work tasks, while paying the least amount of pay. They use imaginary bonusses that are easy to get on paper, but almost impossible to get in practical situations, especially because the ai uses all information to refuse and deny bonuse completion towards the end of the bonus series.

    If workers don’t respond to the ai in predictable ways, they are blamed and offboarded with vague bureaucratic excuses.
