It was not that long ago that the murmurs of Artificial Intelligence crept into our general conversation, just like computers did back in the late ’70s. And as technological advancements go, this naturally sparked fears that A.I. will take our jobs. Despite the reassurance from tech bros that “It’s really nonsense” and we have nothing to worry about, the day has come when they get to eat their own words.
A couple of days ago, Suumit Shah, the CEO of the e-commerce platform Dukaan, boasted about replacing 90% of his support staff with an A.I. chatbot. “Time to first response went from 1m 44s to INSTANT!” he gleefully wrote. No surprise, then, that this has sparked an online backlash, with Shah trying to fend off thousands of online haters. In one of his replies, the CEO said, “It was a tough decision.” Sure. But no amount of broken-heart emojis will make up for all the employees that were sacked from their positions because of cost-saving 1s and 0s.
