Those Who Swift - Issue 205
Weekly note ✏️A years ago, it would have been hard to imagine AI completely taking over first-line customer support. Yet, here we are. Recently, I contacted my ISP’s support, expecting the usual experience. Instead, I was greeted by what seemed like a typical agent—no mention of a bot, just a regular name, a polished avatar, and instant responses. Messages were read almost instantly, replies were smooth, and only after struggling to resolve my issue did it finally admit, "Let me connect you to a real person." And it’s not just support—AI is quietly took over basic communication, data exchange, and small interactions everywhere. Whether it’s handling emails, scheduling, or even generating reports, the front lines of digital interactions are being seamlessly automated. The shift is subtle but massive—AI isn’t just assisting anymore; it’s replacing, blending in so well that you might not even notice.
