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.

    How are we going to deal with the 1000’s of people who end up utter brain dead meat bags because they are no longer using their brains?

      The same way society has any time we have a technological advancement that has negative consequences but makes a profit. We ignore it until its either too late or becomes too big of a problem to tackle.

      A few that come to mind are things like asbestos, lead based products, pollution, CO2 emissions… and thats without stopping to think of a list

      I agree. This will be a problem. However very few people will care about this question when they’re faced with two products/services that are nearly equivalent, but the human derived one costs significantly more.
