  1. #ComputerSaysNo:

    - Staff finds a mistake: single digital typo in invoice number. Ok.

    - Informs sender of mistake. Great!

    - Staff+Sender unable to fix this, because "all fields read-only" in software now.

    - Sender cannot re-send invoice, but must re-upload (and jump through all online-form hoops) again:

    Hoping not to introduce /a different error or typo/ this time...

    Took: 2 people, 45 minutes for slowly re-doing what has been done already...

    Absolutely disgusting. 😤 Your blood will boil if you read this article; stories of humble people not asking for much, being penalsed & traumatised by auto-algo-AI-slop-stupid & weasel words about ‘fine-tuning’ the system: "It's quite inhumane” is the least of it.🤬
    New Minister Sam Rae does not cover himself in glory either - pathetic response. 😤
    Hard to believe this is happening so recently after Robodebt & that the public service bureaucracy & the federal govt & indeed other govts have learned so little! Perhaps it’s because no one was adequately punished for Robodebt? ‘AI says No’ has become the excuse of the day. 😤

  20. They request a formal email with evidence that my record is wrong. They can give no indication on timings (days, weeks, months?). I've sent an email and got an auto response stating 'high volumes' and 'expect delays'.

    I contact my GP. All they do is access the same system. I ask for compassion but #ComputerSaysNo They think that my flu jab was either misrecorded or was in fact a COVID jab.

    These things happen I guess but I have to go back to the pharmacy. All the admin is mine 🤷

  25. I just want a COVID vaccine. I'm immune compromised and eligible so why don't I have one? Because the IT system won't let me.

    Fair enough, apps have funny five minutes, there's a phone number I can call. Apparently all they do is go into the app. They can't book either. The sympathy down the line is real but #ComputerSaysNo All they can suggest is a call to #NHSEngland and request my record is altered as that must be the problem.

    So I call them. They are just bemused 🙄

  42. @recantha When RAD tools came with front end click & code ease of use there was concern - “some office clerk will destroy the art of « real » consul coding, when C arrived, assembler coders pointed out bad decisions it made. In the end it is the human weakness in dropping responsibility, avoiding costs of quality & testing outcomes. Need laws -More powerful the tool the larger responsibility- ask the post office victims how they feel about decision making tools. #ComputerSaysNo
