I worked in logistics and there was a software company working on routing software for the company before I left, this was about 2 years ago and they were going on about how AI would route all the trucks and decide which order the deliveries would be done.
I was in a lot of these planning meetings and never said a thing about how it didn't need to be AI it just needed to be a set of rules to follow. They are still not running without human intervention.
Rules: Don't load too much, don't have two trucks crossing over eachother, go when the stores are open, don't work more than 12 hours, try to give the same amount of stops/workload to each driver.
AI doesn't know what these things mean unless we tell it how to interpret work into rules. There is nothing intelligent about a system that relies on humans having to constantly check its work and paying extra to call that AI.
Yeah, NP hard problems don't get easier just because the AI is doing the "thinking."
Pretty sure that's how the product will work but they'll just call it AI
Yeah that was why it was so dumb. There was nothing AI about it and before this AI bubble it would have just been called automated.
