From Reddit: “’I work in a call center, so do 17 million people around the world. 95% of costs associated with call centers are due to staffing, and its a 300 billion dollar industry. I’ve recently been made aware of a demo with a new call center AI agent and I immediately started looking for a different career. The bad part is, my job and everyone else’s in this industry is over, the good part is, you will never be put on hold again, the AI agent will likely already know who you are when you call, have predicted the issue you are most likely having, and be ready to offer the solution to that issue. Most people will not be able to tell they are talking to an AI Agent. 2 years max for the call centers to train these friendly, helpful AI’s on every possible scenario, implement them, and fire everyone. Ai will take all our jobs. Fine by me – working in a call center sucks.”
