It completely misunderstood a voicemail left by a local car dealership. The call was made to Louise Littlejohn by a worker at the garage who intended to invite her to a promotional event for a new car. The call went to voicemail so he left a message. Apple then "transcribed" the call with an AI-powered system and delivered a text message, something that's meant to save users time rather than have to listen to the message. .... AI Translates with Insulting Message Unfortunately the message Littlejohn received was very different, not only bearing little relationship to the actual wording, but including some unfortunate wording: "Lots of [redacted] CT from work line over line trail of you will just be told to see if you have received an invite on your car if you've been able to have s@x and not what should we call and just keep trouble with yourself that'd be interesting you piece of sh!t give me a call [redacted] customer [redacted] will have to help us thank you."

He is watching classic Doctor Who. The old familiar line, "EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!" Not sure which of the first 7 Doctors it is yet from listening to the audio. Edit: I heard my dads ancient and very old dog wake up and rushed to help her outside. If not she might not make it in time to do her business outside. As I picked her up for a express trip outside I glanced at the tv and saw it was the fourth Doctor he was watching. ID: 2147962 · Reply Quote
