This afternoon, I got an email:
"Our agent, powered by the best AI available, can solve all your business problems. Reply to this email and our agent will show you what it can do".
Normally, I would just delete it, but I wasn't in the best mood, so I decided to reply.
I wrote:
"I have an insurmountable business problem: whenever I travel abroad, I don’t have access to a bidet. This causes me enormous psychological distress, to the point that my company could actually fail.
Do we really want to let a company go bankrupt because of a bidet?"
A few minutes later, it replied:
"Thank you for contacting us! I completely understand the problem. Our sales team will get in touch with you and will be more than happy to *personally* solve your problem by arranging a meeting."
Now, hold on a second.
What exactly are their salespeople planning to do with my genitals???
