staff are too overworked to have a friendly conversation with the lonely patients, so let’s shove an AI into a bastardized representation of a little girl! yeah great idea guys. if I was lonely in a hospital and they sent a fucking robot to talk to me I might actually get violent.
Your feedback is important to us! Would you mind taking a brief survey regarding your recent stay at our hospital?
- What could we have done better?
- How attentive was our staff?
- Jk we don’t care
- Your bill is $40k
- Go fuck yourself
Its like they watched Patch Adams and thought it was a great idea but let’s replace him with a soulless avatar to save money
It’s definitely pretty tone-deaf.
If I were left to languish in a nursing home cared for by understaffed nurses and missing genuine human interactions with my family or whatever, and a bot emulating a 7 year old showed up and tried to cheer me up by playing my favourite song, I would start a riot.
You know what’s an even better way to combat staffing shortages? RAISE PAY UNTIL YOU CAN HIRE MORE STAFF you efficiency-gargling thieves. It’s called a “free market” maybe you’ve heard of it? You have staff shortages because YOU DON’T WANT TO PAY PEOPLE. WE ARE PEOPLE. PAY US, MOTHERFUCKERS.
Disappointed they didn’t call it Megan (M3GAN)
