We live in a sci-fi dystopia.
What the actual sh*tnuggets
Edit: I did some further research for different sources and can’t seem to find the same article anywhere. I can only find one that says they will use AI to alter hostile tones from call center employees.
They gonna braindance choombas that can’t cope with meatspace.
Fucking hell
Now this is a boring dystopia – make a halfarsed attempt to “help” mentally exhausted call workers rather than giving them the power to punish abusive customers or to actually fix whatever corporate-level fuckery made them that way in the first place.
It’s so absurd it doesn’t sound credible?
Like any idiot manager can understand that being shown a photo of your wife and kids after being shouted at by a customer for the nth time today isn’t really going to help.
It’s also incredibly insulting for call centre staff. Imagine encountering real problems with bank policy et cetera and having a computer try to placate you with a nice soothing picture.
