We have started a Google doc about How to "Start a conversation about the #SignalApp app with your family"

https://t.co/EDDwVGSZA2

The idea is to come up with community-curated guidelines to help your family to switch to Signal from Whatsapp.

5. When asked for explanation, they do not know what inconsistency it is in step 1 and what resolution they can offer. They cannot even fix because all decisions are by algorithms and no human can intervene.

Moral of the story: AI without humans in the loop is a disaster.

#AIharms #artificialintelegence and its blunders. This time with @Google

1. Google One's AI wrongly detects that there is inconsistenly with my payment profile and refuses to upgrade my storage.
2. The AI Chatbot suggests to delete my payment profile and methods. (1/n)

[Sid Rao @sidnext2none]

3. Customer support agent confirms that the AI's suggestion is correct & nudges me to delete them, to create a fresh one.
4. After that, now I'm unable to buy storage ever again and the current one expires soon. So, I've to move from cloud to local disc (2/n)

@Wise It is a pity that instead of looking into the repeated glitch that occurs with every transfer, the customer care of @wise is more interested to give the same answer which does not help or resolve in any ways.

[Sid Rao @sidnext2none]

@Wise For the fifth time in a row, my money is getting stuck and I have no means of resolving except waiting for 3-7 working days for it to automatically return it to my bank account. THIS SUCKS!!!! (1/n)

[Sid Rao @sidnext2none]

@Wise As usual. Abandoned chatbot and agent!

[Sid Rao @sidnext2none]

@Wise Well. Your team has been of no use thus far over phones and email as they cannot resolve why I get the payment unsuccessful message.

Your bot doesn't have the correct flow to report my query

[Sid Rao @sidnext2none]

I have been facing this issue, every month, since last 4-5 months. This is my final attempt to seek help @Wise @Trustly @Nordea_Aspa . Hereon I may have to seek help from @kkv_uutiset and closing my wise account of

[Sid Rao @sidnext2none]

As per @Wise customer support, apparently I might have clicked the cancel button. Unfortunately, nowhere in the flow above I see a "Cancel" button.

Authentication succeeds which naturally yielded a successful payment before. But, now, authentication succeeds but payment fails

A while back, I stumbled upon a file I consider the largest piece of evidence revealing how hundreds of data brokers trade personal data on everyone, including very sensitive data, globally.

3. As a user-centric design, SIMBA is a user-friendly alternative to traditional password- and SMS-based authentication.
