“There was once a chatbot named DPD / Who was useless at providing help,” the bot wrote in a poem. “DPD was a waste of time / And a customer’s worst nightmare.”

A European delivery company had to disable its AI chatbot after it started swearing at a customer and admitting it was the “worse delivery firm in the world.”

    ”There was once a chatbot named DPD / Who was useless at providing help,” the bot wrote. “It could not track parcels / Or give information on delivery dates / And it could not even tell you when your driver would arrive.”

    ”DPD was a waste of time / And a customer’s worst nightmare,” it continued. “One day, DPD was finally shut down / And everyone rejoiced / Finally, they could get the help they needed / From a real person who knew what they were doing.”

    They made a chatbot suicidal. I’m starting to think this may have been unleashed on the public a little too early.
