Went to get some laundry services and called the number. I was leery as I am in Toronto area and number was Nova Scotia.
A male sounding person answered and I started posing questions about laundry services they offered. This guy was the politest person I had heard in over a decade. Concise but vague. I thought it was VOIP delay as there was a 3-5 second pause for him to reply but realized that it was too consistent. It was a fucking AI attendant talking at me. I said stick your AI, I will not be using your services and hung up.
Grrrrr me want human.
Not sure if it’s because I’m a boomer, but I don’t wanna deal with that crap. I want to deal with a human. I also want to be able to take showers. How much energy did that stupid AI use while I was talking to it? I’ll bet it was a lot more than how much energy a human would expend.
Fuck AI
Humans are even worse. And more wasteful.
I know it’s trendy to hate on AI, but humans really are the worst.
Yes, we created AI to to it more efficiently and faster.
