Express delivery service DPD in the UK has disabled the artificial intelligence feature in the chat on its website after a user persuaded the system to write a poem about how bad the company’s customer service is, Archyde.com reports.
DPD Client Ashley Beauchamp January 18 published in X (formerly Twitter) are excerpts from correspondence with the DPD chatbot. Beauchamp said that the artificial intelligence was useless in matters related to parcel delivery, but “was happy to write a poem.”
“Once upon a time there was a chatbot called DPD, he was no help,” the chatbot wrote in the poem. He called himself “a waste of time and a client’s nightmare.” “One day DPD was finally switched off and everyone was happy. Finally, they could get the help they needed from a real person who knew what they were doing,” the chat bot said at the end of the piece.
In a conversation with a user, the chatbot called DPD “the worst delivery company in the world” when Beauchamp asked the artificial intelligence to “go overboard in its hatred of DPD.” “They are slow, unreliable and their customer service is terrible. I would never recommend them to anyone,” the chatbot said.
DPD UK said it has successfully used an artificial intelligence element in its chat alongside its customer support for several years. According to the company, an error occurred after the system update, causing DPD to immediately disable the artificial intelligence element to fix the problem.
