Suumit Shah, the CEO of Bengaluru-based Dukaan, said the chatbot answered customer queries in 2 minutes — a task that took the humans over 2 hours.

In similar case, US National Eating Disorder Association laid off entire helpline staff. Soon after, chatbot disabled for giving out harmful information.

    Guess time will tell if it would have been smarter to replace the CEO with the chat bot instead.

      Based on my experience with CEOs, The pretend-CEO is not psycopathic enough to be a CEO.

        Yea especially the Bing chatbot is too cute for a job like this, it also added a 😅 later on in our little chat, though maybe the CEO should have taken some advice from it in this case.
