Today I ran into a difficulty that originates with an algorithm and likely more AI. (Now I am from the prairies -- farm and ranch land -- where AI means something entirely different <smile). It seems that my new abode is in a postal code area that eliminates some coverage for water damage. If we could show an underwriter exactly where the dwelling lies, all would be reinstated. However, they must follow the algorithm that notes I am closer to the estuary than I had been. Yet, where I was was much closer to the brook and river that feed into the estuary. Also, the new place is much higher up a large hill from the estuary, so water damage is unlikely from that source. <sigh>
So, the insurance broker is looking into a new carrier that will consider all manner of water damage. Such a goofy thing. One more headache that I wasn't expecting. <grump> Now I do know that math including algorithms, can be a good thing. But when the simulated reality rules and human brains do not enter the equation, things have gone a bit berserk. -- IMHO. <sigh>
I chose to share a song about math that made me giggle. I needed to do that rather than scream. Keep safe. Enjoy!
