Not sure if this has come up in this thread but I just spent 10 minutes taking photos of my house for Allstate so they can process my policy renewal. They called me a few weeks ago to give me the heads up and then I got a text message with a link to their AI platform where I was shown the examples of what they were looking for in the pictures I was supposed to take. I was asked to take photos of the front, back, left and right sides of the house, my street number, and the front and back of the roof from the street and backyard. By eliminating the people who they used to pay to do this service, Allstate is surely going to compensate me/discount my renewal rate for providing this invaluable service to them, right? They're totally not trying to screw me over by finding any little thing they can tag as a reason to not renew my policy or jack up my rate, right?
As much as I do shit on them, I used the Allstate app to get us discounts on our car insurance by signing up for the DriveWise app. That knocked our rate down a decent amount which is needed with a teen driver who already had an accident.
