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.

    That was one of my main thoughts against. Profits over people. I don’t want a dime of my money going to AI run companies if I can give it to a human. So far AI has not proliferated to the point where I cannot get a specific service via human. I am also sure that time will come. Since I am old I hope I die before that happens.
