Now, if there were justice in this world the entire command chain that devised and executed the plan would be fired and their CV would be forever tainted.

I hope all those workers remember that Ford threw them out the absolute first second they could. I'd be looking elsewhere immediately.

Jesus christ, stop posting this story. It's ridiculous.

At severely reduced wages, of course

That's gotta be one hell of a raise for those folks

Another Klarna moment.

Should not the AI be used to perform the work without errors

You cannot inspect quality into a product just find faults for rework and identify process improvements.

QA vs QC, but then again the good ole USA does not differentiate, it is all QA to them!

QA Inspector as a role ROFL! Really?

"We recognised that for us to enhance some of our automation and machine learning and artificial intelligence tools we needed to ensure that they were trained by the most experienced individuals,"

Surely, this means Ford will spend more time getting engineers to train AI and then they will fire them again.

Who could have predicted that the slop machine would be sloppy

Surplus value can only be created by surplus labour. It is an objective structural imperative of Capitalism for employees to stay longer to create value for shareholders.

LLMs have the potential to shorten socially necessary labor time, but under capitalism, this potential is perverted into a means of intensifying exploitation and increasing alienation.

It just seems like we're destroying everything for one "product" 🙄 that doesn't even add any value to LITERALLY ANYTHING.

Sadly it seems their lesson learned is to rehire only until they can assimilate those experts knowledge more thoroughly, then cut them once again

Lather, rinse, repeat throughout industries

Not the feel good story the headline would hope you would have read

Cannot hate AI enough

I bet they are treated worse now even still.
