Tech Thread

So I own a business, and we rely on technology as that is what we sell - Warehouse Management Solutions, that utilise barcode scanning, label printing, and the hardware is predominantly Android based on PDA's typically. Although we would hate for people to lose jobs, it is a by product sometimes of the technology we sell. However, the vast majority of what we do, is to replace paper not people - making stock control, goods in and goods out automated, rather than liable to human error. This ultimately provides a return on investment relatively quickly as stock errors, over-ordering are avoided, and with increased traceability and accuracy, we see many of our customers actually grow in size, and require increased workforce as a result.

 

I have seen auto pickers that can't tell the difference between a bolt and an oil seal. They only read the bar code.
Of course way back down the line of blame it would have been a human that made the first mistake.

 

Typically, thought not always, the mistake would be due to a human error prior - whether it be labelled wrong, or the back end system being incorrectly input.

 

So I know very little about AI. What did you have to input (and how?) to get that response?

 

I put "Give a witty response to this thread" followed by the content of the thread up to that point

Tesco and Sainsbury’s generate an estimated £300m per year by selling information related to shopping habits and preferences of their customers, The Times reported on Sunday.

The data, collected through the loyalty cards offered by the supermarkets, is sold to consumer giants and TV companies, including Channel 4, PepsiCo, and Heineken.

I suspect we pay some of it in a way, because some public sector organisations use data (through Experian etc) which is likely to involve loyalty card stuff too

 

How long before it starts costing you everywhere.

“Your car insurance is going up this year because statistics show people who bought uncle bens rice more than once over a 12 month period are 725x more likely to cause an accident.”

 

Not sure what @Sir Cheshire Ben cooking has got to do with it, but I get your point…
