Brent Sullivan(@TaxAlphaInsider):I just won a chargeback dispute initiated by Muse. A person bought a thing from me, then bought the same thing 48 seconds later. I can tell from the request log that the person hit the confirm button multiple times. No big deal. I have a little script that monitors for things like this. Or they could have emailed for a refund. Very easy to resolve. Instead, their Muse bot initiated a chargeback, almost certainly after they approved it. The chargeback costs me money, so I asked my customer to cancel it. They responded with an apology and described that Muse did it, not them! So, I sent that explanation to the bank, which costs another $50, and I won, and got all of my money back. Folks are (rightly) worried about AI (security vulnerabilities, deep fakes, scams, etc.), but another way Skynet takes over is by creating a mountain of shit that causes work in the real world. AI slop requiring manual review in the court system is one example. My chargeback is another.
