If he could get away with it, he’d rename is Peasant’s Choice.

Oh wait. He probably can get away with it.

Glory to Arstotzka!

Canada doesn’t have that excuse though and housing is even more fucked here.

Cries in Vancouver

I agree with the first part, but pre WWI was over a hundred years ago. I’m sure there’s more relevant and recent examples that could be found to strengthen an argument.

BRAWNDO

It’s a very accurate one too.

Training needs to start earlier, when they’re kids. Topics should include road rage and how to prevent it and the value and importance of vaccinations.

We actually refer to them by their proper name here, the Canadian cobra-chicken.

That’s a fair point. Think about the pitiless snark of boomers who pretend to know us millenials by our age too. Housing isn’t expensive, you just are lazy and eat too much avocado toast!

Won’t get you far in Vancouver…

I was living stateside from 2018-2021, my credit card had no pin. It was chip and signature for transactions. Absolutely ridiculous system.

Or PIN numbers on credit cards.

Do it again but with grocery prices and housing!

That just hit me in the olds. Kids today are grown ups that can drink in America and it was after 9/11

Yeah but these are cops, not trained soldiers. Lower those standards!

You’d think they’d have tried a better case then. They lost in the court of public opinion as soon as it was about bereavement and their argument that the chatbot on their own site is a separate legal entity they aren’t responsible for is pants on head stupid.

In a way, we should be grateful they bungled it and are held liable, other companies may be held to the same standard in the future.

Confirmed. As someone who has led customer operations at large companies, the scale of chatbots to address a userbase is absurd. Companies are more than willing to take the hit to their reputation and customer goodwill in exchange for not needing to hire as much staff, train them, manage their schedules or deal with benefits and performance reviews. Cutting all that cost is an instaboner to execs and a nightmare to support managers who actually care about quality.

The amount of $700 judgements that Air Canada would need to be hit with to make replacing humans with chatbots a losing proposition is too high. It’ll never happen.

Sadly, in my decade of experience, I’ve yet to see any bots able to reliably handle much beyond ‘where’s my order?’.

If you come in with the baseline that none of them tell the truth, it’s a lot easier to figure out who is lying.

If only there was one person in government that could direct the rest of government to affect positive change in our blighted hellscape of a telecom industry…

Yes.
