    Hang on. Are you telling me the latest hyped up tech bubble isn’t a panacea? I would never have guessed.

    Thank fuck for miniature, and no doubt temporary, fucking mercies.

    The human-run system is already designed to reject as many claims as possible and make it as absolutely difficult as possible for those they don’t flat out reject to get even the lowest rate (again, the default, which, like a rejection, you then have to appeal to get what you’re really entitled to), yet somehow AI would have managed to make it worse.

    Don’t think for a second this’ll stop them from trying again, or making the existing system worse still in other ways.

    After all, we are the real leeches on the government tax pot that they need to eliminate, not their fellow landlords and capitalists sat next to them on the parliament bench. 🙄

      I’d like to think it’s the opposite, the AI systems were actually being fair and allocating payouts to people the manual process wouldn’t have, so it was scrapped for being too expensive.

      Give it time though and they’ll sort that out, can’t possibly pay out to people who actually need help. It’s just not how they do things.

        Oh yeah, they wouldn’t have scrapped it unless it was damaging them somehow (like you say, or possibly by being so transparent they couldn’t even muster any plausible deniability), rather than benefits claimants, as intended.
