Was requesting a small part refund on an order with Argos because they weren't able to take an old appliance away.

So went onto 'live chat' which happens to be the so-called artificial intelligence. It didn't understand the plain English request.

Tried their twitter feed, ffs, that's a 'bot' too.

I think this is the future for us.

Only question is though, when there aren't any jobs for anyone because 'AI' is doing them all, what's to become of the 'useless eaters'?

Answers on a postcard!

"Answers on a postcard"...
That's the answer, we'll all become postmen/women/persons...

It's either that, or we'll end up just walking the streets

Ah, but Reg, in the name of "saving the planet", there won't be any paper, it will all be electronic. Posties will be one of the first to go.

Notice on RTV, old Mellish with his notepad, while all the young uns have their i-pads? That's the future.

Yes, I agree George, just a poor attempt to get my walking the streets joke in...

Even humans can't deviate from a script... Been on the phone to the council today. After about 6 attempts to get you to go to the website instead of speaking to someone, they couldn't understand why I was getting annoyed chasing a refund due 2 months ago, when they send out reminders after 7 days if you owe them money.

They were going to close the railway ticket offices.

They didn't give a sh*t that not everyone can go online or download the app eg OAPs.

Less human interaction would appear the goal.

Lockdowns, being restricted to the ghettos...Oh sorry, I meant the 15 minute cities.

Well, the railway ticket offices got a reprieve (for now) after a lot of pushback.
