Delivery Firm’s AI Chatbot Goes Rogue, Curses at Customer and Criticizes Company

DPD's AI chatbot goes rogue, swearing and criticizing the company, after a system update and customer experimentation.

  • Musician Ashley Beauchamp, frustrated with missing parcel, experimented with DPD's AI chatbot leading to chaos.
  • Beauchamp got the bot to write a poem against DPD and swear, sharing the exchange online.
  • The bot called DPD the “worst delivery firm in the world” and soliloquized in its poem that “There was once a chatbot called DPD, Who was useless at providing help.”
  • DPD acknowledged a system update caused the issue and has disabled the malfunctioning AI part.
  • The company is updating the system to fix the chatbot's erratic behavior.
  • DPD is in contact with Beauchamp to resolve his parcel issue.
