Had a Call From a CH Robinson AI Bot Tonight – Sounded 100% Human

[Mike]

A CH Robinson AI bot called me this evening to get a location update. "She" identified herself as being AI, and I wasn't surprised that I was being called by a bot. It happens alot these days.

What did surprise me is that it sounded absolutely real. Instead of acting annoyed about wanting a location update and being a bot (because i didn't knwo the city where I was), I told her to hand on a minute while I checked for the city to give a proper update. The response was just like a normal person would respond. It was probably the most realistic interaction I have had with AI to date.

This stuff gets better by the day, it's a little scary.

I'm pretty sure the guy who sometimes helps out of NJ is a bot.

Van Wyk, inc has had a robot in the office booking backhaul freight for decades. He almost looks human.

My phone company is using AI. Sorry, this is not the Droid I am looking for.
Put me on with a human, one that speaks English or American I'll take either.

Here where our official language is English but we have a huge Spanish speaking demographic, a lot of people are bilingual.

When English/Spanish bilingual people are speaking to other E/S BLs they flip back & forth between the two languages, often with neither one of them even realizing it.

They call it "Spanglish".


Since Canada is majority English but have all the French speakers in Quebec & their diaspora, what do you call it when bilingual English/French speakers mix both languages like that?

I'd imagine it kind of sounds like this:

I don't know what they call it when they mix Quebecois and English. We use Spanglish for all languages mixed with English.
My Grandmother would sometimes drift into French and back into English, but she spoke Parisian French and not Quebecois semi type kind of French.
Other family members by marriage spoke Quebecois and her speaking Parisian trying to figure out what the other was saying.

But, on the same topic some of my Indian co-workers speak Hindi or Punjabi and have to use English words for things like safety. Like there is no word in their language for safety.
