Artificial Intelligence vs Organic Slyness Sometimes I believe the robots are overpowering us, and then I come across stories like this and realize they still lack the flexibility and the sharpness it takes to adapt to ever-changing human demands. At least the ones who know a little about coding can find ways to slip through the cracks.

Frustrated gym user sets up an automatic response for every time he gets a late fee notification in revenge for the one time they charged him an extra $11: 'I did what anyone with too much free time and a mild interest in how systems work would do'

These are the type of stories we're likely to hear more often from now on: employees performing heroic tasks in defense of human beings in the fight against bots. It's not that the bots are mean, bots don't have intentions, it's that they are sometimes created only for optimising companies' expenses and needs, and not for helping us, their confused and tired customers.

Employee is forced to talk to customer service bot instead of a person and ends up developing another bot to run up the company’s AI bill: 'Maybe they'll provide customer service now, instead of foisting the responsibility on a chatbot.'
