I’ve noticed that Automotive insurers have bet heavily on LLMs to replace experienced estimators on repair work.

Lots of vehicles are being written off that can be repaired and lots of repairs are being authorised above the value of the vehicle.

Meanwhile estimators are being forced back into the repair industry, or have taken early retirement.

Retail punters purchasing wrecks at auction and repairing them privately and as a result second-hand parts supplies are drying up. This is also throwing their new LLM based algorithms way off on their estimates for repair costs.

I’m just waiting for the LLM bubble to burst. Anyone who invested any time or money into this scam being marketed as “AI” is going to end up like those Bitcoin and NFT investors…
