VISA: "We wont let adults engage in consensual adult activities via our payment network becuase some religious nutjob somewhere might complain about it, but we're gonna hand over our network to AI so it can spend all your and our money because we're customer first"

also just a reminder there was a big password breach with instagram/meta/whatever because people asked an AI agent to give them the passwords for famous peoples accounts.

I cant wait for something similar happening on VISA, someone prompt bombing to get the AI to charge a random account and people melting down as 10s of thousands of dollars of charges appear out of no where.

Visa is gonna hand over my bank details to a chatbot, but if I want to buy a game with anime tits Visa flips the fuck out and starts threatening platforms.

If the bill comes 10000€, go figure out to tell the bank was AI or something.

So we're getting robbed?

Well this can't end well

Man I can't wait for the European alternative.

If I wasn't forced to use this shit, I would burn that stupid plastic card in a heart beat.

Holy fucking shit we've lost our minds collectively.

The only upside I can think of is that financial instituoms have much better fraud detection these days.

I actually had to call my credit card company and go through a four-question verification in order to buy my new scooter a week ago.

Still, don't let LLM's make decisions for you.

Payment integrations with AI is NOT a good idea. I still remember a few years back a controversy that happened with Amazon's Alexa. Apparently, alexa speakers started ordering people dollhouses after hearing its name on TV. Yes ik ik you can disable purchases from amazon from the alexa app but by default, it was enabled.

This article covers it all: https://www.theverge.com/2017/1/7/14200210/amazon-alexa-tech-news-anchor-order-dollhouse

This is the main part

At the end of the story, Anchor Jim Patton remarked: “I love the little girl, saying ‘Alexa ordered me a dollhouse,’” According to CW6 News, Echo owners who were watching the broadcast found that the remark triggered orders on their own devices.

Not ChatGPT...

Bill for a new car arrives in your email. ChatGPT says I figured it was time for you to get a new car. Bank says can’t return it as it’s a legit purchase from your account.

People must be so time poor that this seems a good idea. Having stuff arrive at the door that I didn’t know I wanted and balancing the books afterwards seem like new mystery experience awaiting.

It will take time for people to fully trust AI agents to do their shopping, Forestell acknowledged. At first, Visa expects the majority of transactions to still loop in humans, with AI agents sending a notification for consumers to approve the actual purchase.

“Now, imagine you do that a thousand times over the course of some period of time,” he said. “And then your agent says, ‘Do you want me to just not check?’”

This is some capitalist hellscape shit when we're being driven to hand over consumerism even wtf. Really scraping the bottom of the proverbial moral barrel fighting for this

This is awesome! I can't wait to read the articles of how this goes wrong for dumbasses who use it. Should be fun!

Slop slop slop. Sloppity slop
