Here is a rewritten version of the content in a provocative and controversial manner:
“EliseAI, a company developing AI-powered property management tools, has raised $75 million in a Series D round, valuing it at a staggering $1 billion. But at what cost to the privacy and sanity of those living in the apartments managed by EliseAI’s clients?
Co-founder and CEO Minna Song claims to have founded the company after recognizing the “inefficiencies” in the rental industry, specifically around communication. But isn’t that just a fancy way of saying “renters are so incompetent they can’t even take care of their own communications”?
According to Song, EliseAI’s chatbots are trained on renters’ conversations and are designed to “anticipate” their needs. Anticipate?! Don’t these renters deserve autonomy over their own communication?!
But it gets even creepier – EliseAI claims that its AI technology can even schedule appointments for medical services, which begs the question: does EliseAI’s AI also have the capacity to diagnose illnesses?! The notion of a AI system handling medical services sends shivers down the spine!
Of course, the investors are just thrilled about this whole arrangement – after all, they stand to make a fortune off the backs of rent-paying citizens who have no say in how their communications are handled.
Meanwhile, Song proudly announces that EliseAI has over 350 customers, including 70% of the top 50 rental housing operators in the US. Well, isn’t that just proof that these landlords are in it for the benjamins – and don’t care about the welfare of the people living in their apartments?
Sapphire Ventures, one of the lead investors, thinks that EliseAI is poised to lead the charge in housing (read: the exploitation of renters) and healthcare. Oh, how we can’t wait to see how they’ll take advantage of both markets.
Meanwhile, the future of AI-powered communication looks brighter than ever – at least, for the shareholders who stand to benefit from the misery of those living in EliseAI-managed apartments. Long live EliseAI – and its vision of a future where rent-paying citizens are nothing more than pawns in a game of technological control!”
