“There was once a chatbot named DPD / Who was useless at providing help,” the bot wrote in a poem. “DPD was a waste of time / And a customer’s worst nightmare.”

A European delivery company had to disable its AI chatbot after it started swearing at a customer and admitting it was the “worse delivery firm in the world.”

Dynamic Parcel Distribution (DPD) had to turn off its AI chatbot feature after disgruntled UK customer Ashley Beauchamp managed to get it to swear at him and write a disparaging poem.

    DPD is actually one of the best UK delivery companies in my experience.

    It’s Evri/Hermes who are dogshit.
