  • The company I work for is currently developing an AI based system to “read” legal documents and boil them down to a few pieces of info to shove in a spreadsheet. One of the people I work with has to make a system that tests the quality of that AI. So far he’s found that to be an impossible task because the info he’d check it against, that in which humans did the same task, is also super fallible and basically he’s found that they both suck in different ways.

    Which means the AI is just being used because no one can say its wrong, since no one can say its definitively right either… but it’s cheaper.




  • Honestly, it’s mostly the returns process that I feel make Amazon a better place for “direct from china” stuff. I do a lot of electronics hobby work and I can buy the same part from Amazon, Ali Express, or direct from fly by night companies in China. The latter two are generally cheaper, but the quality tends to be more questionable at times and I can’t really “return it for my money back” like Amazon.
