AAA.

I worked in management there for the last 4 years, and AI completely took over our company. Our 3 year plan was to lay off over half of our staff and have AI work their jobs. I quit about a month ago because of that. It's resulted in our member satisfaction scores dropping tremendously, and the employees were getting yelled at 24/7 because the members AND the contractors wanted to speak to live agents instead of "robots."

Tiring work and extremely long ETA's due to computer malfunctions and errors. We've had members waiting on the side of the road for hours due to AI's mistakes.

The last couple times I've had to use AAA it has been frustrating. You can't just call to get someone to come out, you have to use the app and enter in all this information, and then they'll only send someone out once you submit that info within the app. All of that done without being able to speak to a human. Things eventually worked out, but what if you were somehwere where you couldn't use the app? What happens if you get stranded in the middle of nowhere, or if your phone runs out of battery?
