Last Night a Robot Saved my Life….

So, it was the night before Christmas, fire lit, food prepared, wine opened, kids on the way ….when my internet hub stopped working.

 😳

Disaster…how the hell was I going to get anyone to sort this out on Christmas Eve…?

I made a few calls (hindered by not having any internet) and ended up receiving a text from BT.

‘Hi it’s the BT internet bot here’

Now any of you that know me – will know I’m not a fan of AI – or any of its associated robot friends – give me a good old human anytime…

Yet… having no other option, I decided to trust the internet bot and run with any advice that it could come up with…

It then – found my account – checked the connection – gave me a full update on the issues – refreshed the system – and ….IT WORKED.

Bloody hell – amazing …I take it all back.

Thank you BT – you saved my Christmas.
