Crankshaft by Tom Batiuk and Dan Davis for April 10, 2023

Corporations pledge the attention to a customer is a matter of paramount importance to their business, then sick the robo-operators and chat-bots to divert the customer into the black hole vortex of customer service hell.

I wonder how generative AI will change tech support. I for one would rather speak with AI-generated systems that can tailor their responses very specifically to my questions and answers rather than some menu system that only has a fixed number of pre-recorded responses.

I answered the phone myself because I have nothing better to do right now

Entertain me, please

Reminds me of the old joke…… “Answer the phone, Bill” “Why? I just paid it last month…..”

Where’s Crankshaft?

How refreshing to have a real person answer the phone!

But apparently he doesn’t answer it with the company name or who he is…

“Now, have I ever told you about all the Silver Age ‘Amazing Spider-Man’ comics I had as a boy?”

???

This is a company that’s still analog-retenentive?

Haha! XD
