Let's back up a bit.

Lyft driver caught blatantly using Gemini AI (with watermark) to fake damage to his car and charge riders extra for cleaning fees

I wonder if this would have happened if he was paid a decent wage in the first place.

What a silly thing to say and think.

Is there some weird correlation between better morality and more money in your head?

Why aren't the billionaires paragons of virtue then?

It's not weird. Desperate people do desperate things, so too little money can lead to compromised morals as can too much. Do you really not see that?

And that's where I came in saying it's a self-destructive argument.

I don't see why we can't all agree that some guy using AI to scam people (and thereby placing demerits on their accounts) is a bad thing, regardless of his income level.

Yes, corporations should pay people more. I'm not arguing against that. But this article isn't about the rates Lyft pays their drivers, it's about a Lyft driver scamming passengers.
