Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Caught a CT ad before the game last night. It had a completely unrealistic number of employees in a store. That's how I knew it was false advertising.

You mean, MORE THAN ONE?!?
- There's always more than one but the others are busy chasing clients to put them into debt without their knowledge.
  That's how I got one of their outrageously high interest MasterCard. They approach clients in the aisle, ask if they would like to save on their purchases, then ask a few personal questions, and and tell you that you're approved!
  The moment you realize they are making a credit card request on your behalf, it's already too late. They told me I could just cancel the card afterwards.
  I really despise how they are trying very hard to put their clients into debt.
- More than 5!
Lmfao they have less than one employee per department, there generally aren't more than 6 employees, including management, in their massive store.
- Nah them prics is there. They just gotten so good at hiding in plain sight that you never see them. It's actually quite the feat to stock the shelves and not be seen at the same time. Plus you got the credit card hounds chasing you around the store. So it goes two ways. Is that an employee or is that the weeping mastercard angel? Better stay away. Or if you make eye contact with them, you moving too damn fast trough the isles to ask for help if you even do see someone.
  Now home hardware, on the other hand, is like playing minesweeper where every damn tile is a mine. You can't walk a meter in any direction with out someone dead stare into your eyes asking if you need any help? You beter know what fuck you came in here for son. Half the time, the panic sets in and now you buying shit you don't need like door mats or fuses when you came in for a damn Robertson bit.
Hey, at least they man the customer service desk.
Can't say the same about my local Sobeys. Their bathrooms are locked and customer service has the key. The one time they had someone there was when I needed to deal with the bakery and that department was vacant.

Why do corporations imagine people will like this shit? Does anyone like this shit?

P.S. If you're the one that likes it, go away.

They don’t care if we like it. They care about reducing staff and cost
- But they could do that without this:
Just use our chatbot bro I promise it will get better, we simply need ten septillion gigabytes of your data to train it bro, it only hallucinates if you use it wrong, the amazon forest will just grow back over time, trust me bro
Boomers love this shit.
- Middle management blows their load over an employee that can't be sexually harassed and always tells you that you're right.
If I could actually trust that responses were well researched, correct and any answer it gives is honored I would love a lot LLM help desks. Give it a rough budget, what my needs are and such, and we can discuss pros and cons of each option. But arguably all AI's fail all three of those requirements and it's up to me to fact check.
It's all labor discipline. Pretending they don't need us anymore.
Maybe it's not about liking this shit, but more about hating it less than any real customer service that would (not) provide.

The best part is, this is so lazy the mascot is AI generated. 4 fingers vs 3 fingers. Looool, no one bothered to clean it up.

Could be such perspective that the fourth is hidden behind.
Cartoons are usually 3 fingers.
- Cartoons is 4 fingers 3 diggits and a thumb. One hand has this, but the other is 2 digits and a thumb
I don't know, the colour is uniform instead of being a "chaos cloud". I think it's just the perspective.

A privacy policy is really a surveillance policy

It's asking me for nudes what do I do?

Its asking me to stop sending nudes what do I do?
- Hit the gym.
I’m sorry, you have to send them or the turnstiles won’t let you into a Canadian Tire again.
Keep it tasteful, keep your panties on, but stuff them with Canadian Tire money
Oh, you know what to do.

Fuck this shit.

Show this to anyone not yet convinced we're in an AI bubble

This looks like literal corporate parody, like the Ficsit AI:

Or crowboy TLJ Dreamfall Chapters:

Or the 2077 vending machine, you know the one:

One thing I recently learned: Canadian Tire stores are franchises. 🤯

This doesn’t relate to AI directly but you can imagine a bunch of franchisees who know nothing about AI “wanting it”.

Time to get it into erotic RP

Jumping on the bandwagon are they. I don't see a problem if they use AI to assist with customer service. Spares the employees using their brain cells.

Hopefully the enshitification of CT isn't exorbitant.

I don't see a problem if they use AI to assist with customer service. Spares the employees using their brain cells.
Except we both know the corporate bean counters will use AI as an excuse to reduce the number of employees to as close to zero as they think they can get away with.
The problem is when you need something specific from customer service. In other words most customer service calls.
As someone who's worked in IT I understand a lot of people are really stupid. Putting them on the phone with a system that recommends eating a few rocks each day will not improve the situation. Though it's probably nice if the person feels like screaming at you.
- If "agent" gets you through to someone then all is good. When they make that impossible is the real issue.
  I was tracking a package that for some reason went from BC to Ontario when I'm in Alberta, so I wanted to ask why but when I tried to connect to AJ agent the damn page fully reloaded and took me back to the beginning of starting a chat. You could never reach an agent, likely by design
