  1. Customer service and AI.
    Our energy supplier Octopus (UK) is normally decent. Then I needed to do something - change a tariff - that wasn't on a web menu. My first email was "answered" by a chatbot, badly. After a second failure I looked up the escape path to human backup.
    The human made contact, went silent for a day; and then delivered what I'd asked + something I didn't want.
    I'm not going to complain about that human. They're being mistreated.
