1. La IA de Target: Un Sistema Propenso a Errores y Acusaciones Falsas.
La inteligencia artificial implementada por Target en sus cajas de autoservicio está siendo fuertemente criticada por su alta tasa de falsos positivos, llevando a la detención y procesamiento de clientes inocentes por supuestos robos que no cometieron. Estos sistemas, a menudo basados en reconocimiento facial o detección de artículos no escaneados, resultan en consecuencias devastadoras para los afectados.
- Target is using ai to target people for shoplifting that they did not commit.
- AI makes us stupid, ai steals, ai lies, and now its falsely accusing people of crimes.
- Horrible tale of ai used to spot shoplifting. Tldr dont shop at target. Theyre evil.
- Target is using ai badly to identify potential shoplifters through their self-checkout. If you forgot to ring up something at the self-checkout, congratulations, youre a thief.
- Horrific story about target using ai to falsely id ops wife.
- Boycott target because their ai might randomly and falsely accuse you of theft and then have you arrested and upend your life.
- Looks like op deleted. Gist was about target using ai to police self checkout, and innocent people getting arrested for felonies as a result.
- Target is using faulty ai facial recognition software to get innocent people arrested for theft they didnt commit at the self-checkout kiosks.
- TLDR target uses ai that has a really high false-positive rate to identify people who go through self checkout without paying for something. Them they charge those people with shoplifting, sometimes months later.
- Target called the police on a lady for stealing from self-checkout even though she didnt. Might have been an ai based error.
- AI erroneously flagged a lady at self checkout for stealing, and it lead to her getting arrested at her house, having to pay almost 2k in bail, possibly losing her job, and then target gets away free after the judge throws the flimsy case out.
- Target had a lady charged with shoplifting based on ai facial detection bullshit. Arrested on a sunday and husband had to post cash bail. Charges dismissed for total lack of evidence.
- The post is deleted now, which is fair, but the moral of the story is that target uses ai for loss prevention and ided a woman who had done nothing wrong. She was arrested and booked for theft before a judge threw out the case because there was zero evidence.
- Target uses ai monitoring to target theft. It was wrong and there was literally no evidence of her stealing.
- AI claimed his wife shoplifted 80 so target arranged for her to be subjected to sunday afternoon arrest w 1504 exact change bail, then later when confronted by a lawyer dropped the charges because oops, the video didnt actually show that.
2. El Impacto Humano: Estrés, Costos y Riesgo de Pérdida de Empleo.
Las acusaciones falsas no solo resultan en arrestos humillantes, sino que también conllevan un enorme costo emocional y financiero para las víctimas. Desde fianzas elevadas hasta el riesgo de perder el empleo y el trauma de ser tratado como un criminal, la vida de los afectados se ve gravemente alterada, incluso cuando los cargos son finalmente desestimados por falta de pruebas.
- Guy deleted for probably legal reasons but tldr on that big thread about target going around is how they use bullshit ai algorithms to accuse you of stealing at self-checkout and then issue a warrant for your arrest over 80 bucks or whatever and haul you off to literal jail with no warning later.
- This is an absolute nightmare. Target is using ai badly to identify potential shoplifters through their self-checkout.
- Incredible story about target - they basically 1 use ai for theft prevention which often falsely targets people 2 they dont notify you if you dont scan all items in a self checkout lane 3 if u hit the ok button you miss an item stealing. Months later a cop may show up arrest you.
- Target is using bullshit ai to target people and got this dudes wife nearly fired from her job and cost them more than 1k just to have it immediately dismissed by a judge because it was false.
- A real life horror story involving target, self- checkout and ai surveillance using facial recognition.
- Warning! target is having people arrested using ai. Even if you stop shopping there now, you could be arrested for something you legally purchased months ago.
- Another reason to boycott target. Targets ai security costs innocent family 1600.00 for 83.00 of theft.
- This is terrible but imagine this happening to you and you cant get bail, cant get counsel, lose your joball bc a big box store uses ai tools to assess if you are stealing when using self-service check out.
- Long story short of the fuck target discourse woman was arrested due to target using ai to get a judge to sign a warrant for her arrest for theft from a self-checkout. It was promptly thrown out due to lack of evidence but womans life in completel turmoil.
- This has got to be the most kafkaesque ai nightmare bullshit i have ever seen. Target, a shitty department store of all places, is destroying peoples lives for no fucking reason at all.
- A teachers aide is arrested at her home because an ai security bot accused her of stealing at a target self check out. Shes okay but the stress and money her family had to deal with is ridiculous.
- The gist of the story you should read the whole thing is that his wife was arrested because targets shitty ai decided shed shoplifted 83 worth of stuff bail was set at 1600 this is dystopian shit.
- Woman arrested on a sunday and spends 13 hours in jail while her partner tries to bail her out 1,600, because targets ai self-checkout surveillance said she stole 80 worth of shit months ago.
- What an insane story. Arrested for shoplifting on the say-so of ai, no evidence, and it can totally screw up your life. Imagine not having the bail money more than 1500!
- Cops turned up to arrest his wife on a charge of shoplifting from target. Eventually thrown out of court because it was ai-driven bullshit. But she was handcuffed, strip-searched, held in custody on unreasonable terms, nearly lost her job, etc. Just awful.
3. Indignación Generalizada: Boicots y Llamados a Regulación.
La comunidad online ha reaccionado con furia ante estas prácticas, calificando a Target de "malvado" y "cocinado". Se multiplican los llamados a boicotear la tienda y a evitar las cajas de autoservicio en general. Muchos exigen una revisión de las leyes y una mayor responsabilidad para las empresas que implementan IA sin la debida supervisión humana, destacando los peligros de la combinación de la codicia corporativa y la tecnología defectuosa.
- Fuck target.
- Jesus fucking christ. I am never ever shopping at target again which i barely do anyway. Neither should you. Ai makes us stupid, ai steals, ai lies, and now its falsely accusing people of crimes.
- If we didnt need more reasons to avoid target, target is now using ai for theft prevention. I would sue the shit out of target for this.
- This thread is worth a read. Its about target being a bad company, ai being a bad tool, our policing system being a bad system, and self-checkout being bad. All of it all at once.
- Fuck ai and fuck target.
- Target sucks. More important, the point about how ai is now being abused for surveillance of self-checkout is something that is going to happen to a lot more people.
- Target is so fucking cooked!! why would anyone step foot into their sears and k-mart declining stores if they could be arrested weeks later because they are using ai that targets innocent people as thieves and puts them through this only to show up at trial with no evidence? avoid like the noid!
- Another reason that ai combined with corporate greed is ruining this existence. Unreal. Fuck target.
- This is outrageous and terrible. Yet another reason to continue boycotting target, to not use self checkout anywhere, and to rid ourselves of ai.
- I kind of wish i wasnt already avoiding target so i could specifically not shop there ever again because of this bullshit.
- Fuck target and fuck ai crime detection. This shit hurts real people.
- This has got to be the most kafkaesque ai nightmare bullshit i have ever seen. Target, a shitty department store of all places, is destroying peoples lives for no fucking reason at all. Target needs to be driven out of business and their executives sued into oblivion.
- Fuck target! good thing there is a boycott against them because they have become an evil corporation the past few years.
- Dayamn. Fuck target. They lost me as a customer with the dei shit, but this is permanent. Oh. And fuck ai. I do not trust it, and never will.
- Fuck target? fuck ai !! oh, and fuck target too.
- Money aside, someone needs to sue target and anyone else out of commission for using ai garbage to criminalize people. This is some 1984 nazi shit!
- Never shop at target. Secondly, fuck ai. And this is a minor point but never use the self-checkout. I dont work there and neither do you. Have an employee ring you up.
- Boycottarget boycott target fuck target. Fuck ai capitalism. This is the beginning of the end of target . Speak it into existence.
- Fuck all of this. Fuck target, fuck ai, fuck the police.
- Fuck target fuck john fisher fuck stan kroenke fuck ai fuck 47 fuck everyone who didnt vote for kh fuck jeff bezos fuck elon fuck couchfucker fuck mike johnson fuck ann wagner fuck runnin josh hawley fuck lawsuit boy eric schmitt these folks have destroyed the last decade of our lives.
4. Un Problema Generalizado: Más Allá de Target y el Auto-Checkout.
La preocupación se extiende más allá de Target, ya que se advierte que otros grandes minoristas también están implementando o planean usar sistemas de IA similares en sus cajas de autoservicio. Esto plantea un futuro distópico donde la vigilancia automatizada y las acusaciones erróneas podrían convertirse en una norma,
