Call centres manage it; they use headsets.

Alternatively it could be people working from home.

Though, with the state of "prompt engineering", I'm now imagining legions wandering down the street, speaking into Bluetooth headsets, desperately entreating an AI to do the task they've been assigned...

(you get better results if you sound like you're about to cry)





>Call centres manage it; they use headsets.

Eh, what? No, they use headsets to talk to the customer and type on a keyboard.

Worse it's always great when you can hear background noise.


Do you think the constant use of "great" sarcastically will end up with reversing its meaning so people think it just means "terrible"?

Words do that sometimes; it's interesting to see it happen.


Call centers won't exist in 10 years. It will all be AI agents.
