Delta CEO Ed Bastian says artificial intelligence could increase profits 50%. The airline’s plans point toward fewer office jobs, automated decisions and different fares for individual passengers.
Is it? Don’t the websites already look at if you’ve visited before and other things to offer different pricing? And people have griped about it but has anything been done?
It should explode, I just don’t think it is or will.
It’d be nice if there was some type of regulation to prevent all this “dynamic pricing” bullshit. Instead I’m just waiting for it to hit grocery stores, because why not.
It might can hit online shopping, but it is not practical to hit stores - at least not with the recent scares and rumours of some stores trying to do on-shelf dynamic pricing.
But given my last sentence, not sure i’m the best target for your angst, which with I might not share the emotion, but I share the conclusion. lol. But no worries if you did see and still felt I was the best place to reply.

how could that ever happen when Americans seem to be preconditioned to get fucked and just shrug about it?
first, I trust a regular algorithm to deliver predictable results, not so much ai
second, I was expecting at least some public push back but given the answres here, it looks like nobody knows what pushback means
so lesson learnt for me and I guess enjoy your higher prices for absolutely no gain as a consumer
I don’t fly.

well I had no way to know you don’t fly… all I saw was your casual dismissal of this more efficient gouging
Ah, so you can’t read. Got it.
and English is not even my first language
I don’t see how supporting that it should explode in their faces (from the comment to which I’d replied) indicates casual dismissal.
But I guess you’re just smarter than me.
