Spent $80 on an AI scheduling tool that couldn't handle snow days

I deliver for a living so missed routes are a pain. The app promised to optimize my stops based on traffic and weather. First real snowfall hit and it rerouted me through a closed bridge three times. Cost me 45 extra minutes and a pissed off customer. Anyone find an AI tool that actually accounts for local road closures?

Optimize your stops based on traffic and weather" - yeah, and weather means more than just rain or shine. These AI things don't know about that one bridge that floods every spring either. Maybe we need to train them on our local quirks ourselves before they're useful.

Ha! Sounds like your AI scheduler got a PhD in "technically correct" while failing basic common sense. Reminds me of the GPS that told me to turn into a lake once. Maybe we need to start training these things with a healthy dose of local gossip instead of just data.
