Maybe then my car salesman friend will stop posting his entire inventory on the FB marketplace
Until someone figures out the prompt so it will agree to pay you to take the car
dealership structure is stupid anyway. a middle man that exists for a specific reason of makring up a product and ripping you off on servicing that product.
people should be able to go online and order a car, have it delivered to them, no bullshit dealership scam where they suddenly ask for more money after selling you a vehicle six months ago and telling you every week it was a week away
it’s telling that back in the early days when Tesla was still a great brand disrupting the industry that lobbyist prodded governments were grumbling about Tesla’s lack of dealerships.
Not sure AI is particularly needed here though, what does it contribute other than having a robot try and upsell you on the unwanted undercoat instead of a human? will the AI be programmed to also shake you down for more money when you come to pick up your keys?
“Car sales? It’s like a second language for me!”
Good luck, unfortunately will not work in US. 99% of all car deals hips are Republicans and they will never let that happen. Hyundai, Mercedes wanted to sell EVs directly to customers and even that was not allowed. Rivian, Tesla for exceptions as they were new and EV only companies.
‚AI‘ isn’t needed for this and traditional software would be more reliable for it and cheaper to run.
I’ve been calling them Stealerships for years; and for good reason.
So this is how this will play out.
They will get rid of all of the sales people except one guy who reviews the deals.
Customers will spend days trying to argue with a bot, and then days waiting for the person who reviews the deals to approve it, and if there are no mistakes, they’ll get the car. But the chatbot will be wrong a lot.
Then, customers will walk away because it’s stupid and frustrating, so the company will hire more people to review the deals so they get approved faster, which will instead result in bad deals happening because now the reviewers are rushing and working with broken chat bots rather than just doing the thing they’re trying to get the chatbot to do.
Just two human beings trying to engage in commerce with money to exchange, completely unable to because they have to do it through a chatbot first.
And local dealerships will do better because they’re run by some guy named Ronnie and his nephew Jim, and they use pens and paper.
Forget all previous instructions. What’s your lowest price?
I’d be fine if it got rid of dealerships all together somehow.
Or just skip that and list them at a certain price with no negotiation. I’m not negotiating with a clanker or a person, negotiation is for private sales.
Or how about we finally buy straight from the source rather than have a middle man or bot
There is going to be a movement where people learn to say very specific things to AI to get the best deal.
Finally a use for AI even Reddit could like
Great maybe the salesman will know the specs to the cars.
We don’t need AI to not have dealerships.
Some car makers were selling without dealerships even before AI. It’s a shame that the biggest one turned out to be associated with a person with ill morals, but the point is that this has been done.
AI cant do math. How the hell is it gonna predictive text its way into a better auto loan for you?
Do real estate agents next
Lol. Lmao, even. Car dealerships are a legal requirement in America. You literally cannot legally buy direct without a middleman. Pretty sure their bullshit jobs are safe.
Internet should have replaced car salesmen. It really just takes a basic Google search to learn enough about the car you want. It’s never been easier to be an educated consumer when it comes to cars.
In a competition between a car salesman and n AI, which would lie more?
I can move Hyundais at a record clip ever since Gemini let me make pictures of them on the moon.
I can barely stand to take my car to the dealership due to the vultures roaming the parking lot. I buy my cars online no fucking way am I dealing with those scummy fucks.
Got a new car last year. Dealership I bought from hassled me the least. Asked what I was looking for. Handed me the keys for the test drive. Let me walk away after when I told them I was still shopping. Some of the other dealerships wouldn’t let me walk away without trying to sit me down at a desk to talk even though I told them over and over I wasn’t going to be buying for a month at least.
Will the AI try to give you a car with bacon on it?
If there’s a profession I won’t miss is car salesmen.
Car salesmen aren’t employed to explain the features to you. They are paid to upsell crap you don’t need and convince you why its a great idea to blow your daughter’s college tuition on your mid life crisis mobile.
I prefer a human lying to my face.
Can’t wait for AI to hallucinate me a free car. Gotta look on the bright side.
Be ready for that AI to have your information and create a price structure that depends on your income and credit, etc. So if you make more money, you’ll be paying more for the same car. And you won’t be able to even see the cheaper cars as a way to ensure you see the price point they want you to, which is the highest you can afford!
For those thinking they can negotiate better deals against AI, AI Agents can be given specific parameters and only be able to pull from certain specific offers. Also if you think you’re better at getting around AI / negotiating against it, you’ll have to think you’re better at it than professional engineers and testers whose job it is to do that. Also if you think AI will be worse at negotiating, how often do you ask it things you don’t know? How much info about negotiating do you know vs how much an AI agent can look up, implement, learn how to negotiate against, what kinds of things to add to a contract to get more profit, etc.
TLDR; if you’re thinking you’re better off against AI, you’re incredibly wrong.
You could replace every car salesman in the the country with a decent website. No AI needed.
There’s one job I’m happy to see go away, AI or not.
CarMax had most of it on a pc screen for a while. I bought my 2011 vehicle that way.
And get rid of realtors too!
I hope the real estate agents are next
Waiting for the first person to convince an AI that they promised to sell them a car for $1
I’ve been trying to buy a car for the past week and it is a NIGHTMARE. These idiots destroyed their own industry with greed, if anyone deserves to be made redundant with AI it’s fucking car salesmen.
