Well that's the story trumpeted in today's Guardian as justification for axing call-centre jobs.

I'd love to inflict SANDI (the Chatbot favoured by Santander) on the know-all's at British Gas.

A more supremely thick example of technology you will never, ever meet. SANDI's two stock phrases are: "I'm sorry. I do not understand the question" and "Please re-phrase the question".

And that is it. Ad Nauseam. Until I admit defeat and quit - which is the aim of Chatbots, I suppose.
