- 0:20Speaker 1: say no to automated phones.
- 0:25Speaker 2: You want a human to body.
- 0:26Speaker 1: I want a human, even if incompetent. Okay, I want
- 0:34Speaker 1: a human to answer the phone.
- 0:36Speaker 2: Let's get back to humanity.
- 0:38Speaker 1: There's nothing worse than phoning up a call center. Hello,
- 0:44Speaker 1: welcome to Can you just give me a human? Okay,
- 0:49Speaker 1: so we're doing that.
- 0:50Speaker 3: Next stop what you're doing here is another world famous
- 0:56Speaker 3: crank from Darren Wackhead, something exclusive to KFM mornings.
- 1:02Speaker 1: All right, So as all around us now, so this
- 1:06Speaker 1: is a throwback Thursday. So what I did here? All right?
- 1:09Speaker 1: So as you heard this morning, as I said, you know,
- 1:11Speaker 1: David Ghetter, there's a song that was a hit eight
- 1:13Speaker 1: years ago. Then the guard woke up in the one
- 1:16Speaker 1: morning and he was like, oh some aard my song
- 1:19Speaker 1: and it's now become a hit and it's number one
- 1:21Speaker 1: in the world in Europe. In fact, then David Ghetto
- 1:24Speaker 1: was like, just ar vocals. David Ghetto was like no,
- 1:28Speaker 1: he phoned up the artist and said, let's remake the song.
- 1:32Speaker 1: It was just now a dancer version and let's now
- 1:35Speaker 1: beat AI.
- 1:36Speaker 2: So, with all due respect, I didn't know it was
- 1:38Speaker 2: going to be David Ghetter being the one to be
- 1:40Speaker 2: ANTIAI Warrior. But here we are.
- 1:43Speaker 1: What a cool way?
- 1:45Speaker 2: Who is your platform may and your impact?
- 1:47Speaker 1: Exactly? Yeah, it's crazy because Dublo's going the other way?
- 1:51Speaker 1: Yeah is he going? But then it was revealed he's
- 1:55Speaker 1: got stakes Insuna. So it's not like a sincere I
- 1:59Speaker 1: think it's grateful people. It's like, ex use this because
- 2:02Speaker 1: I'll be better. Let me tell you. Follow the money,
- 2:06Speaker 1: things become very very clear. Let me tell you. I
- 2:10Speaker 1: have been asked a few times by companies to be
- 2:15Speaker 1: the automated voice okay, and I've always said no, why
- 2:20Speaker 1: is that what a compliment.
- 2:22Speaker 2: They're like, whacked, we want your voice to be the
- 2:26Speaker 2: first one our clients.
- 2:27Speaker 1: It's not that big a deal. This is my voice
- 2:29Speaker 1: is cheap, you know what I mean.
- 2:31Speaker 2: But they're also thinking all the people are going to
- 2:33Speaker 2: stay on the line talking to wacky.
- 2:35Speaker 1: No, it's those automated things. Press one, yeah, thank you. Yeah.
- 2:43Speaker 1: I was even going to do one for garment. The
- 2:46Speaker 1: garment one is cool though, like the navigation. Look, I
- 2:50Speaker 1: don't I don't like that stuff. But take me home, Darren,
- 2:55Speaker 1: talk to me, Tell me to turn right, Darren, you
- 3:00Speaker 1: prank give me right, stop it, stop it so so
- 3:09Speaker 1: so ah, man, come on.
- 3:11Speaker 2: Guys, don't tell us what about the deals you are
- 3:14Speaker 2: turning down?
- 3:16Speaker 1: So then press three. Thank you for calling for me.
- 3:23Speaker 1: I'll put the phone down when I hear these things,
- 3:26Speaker 1: all right, because but then you get the ones that
- 3:28Speaker 1: you know, luck with the AI stuff where it now
- 3:31Speaker 1: like it's it's remember before it started, it was all
- 3:37Speaker 1: on the touchstone, a touchstone touch pad. It used to
- 3:41Speaker 1: pick up the numbers that used to dial. It knows
- 3:45Speaker 1: which was which. Then you could say yes, and you
- 3:47Speaker 1: could pick up words and stuff. But you can't overcomplicate
- 3:50Speaker 1: the system because then it's it gets confused now, all right,
- 3:53Speaker 1: And that's where the frustration lies because and that's what
- 3:58Speaker 1: my purpose was to shut this thing down at the airport.
- 4:01Speaker 1: You know, so the airport had started this automation. It's
- 4:05Speaker 1: a big, big story. Oh, we're getting automated now, phone,
- 4:09Speaker 1: your call will never go unanswered because we've got this thing.
- 4:14Speaker 1: Now direct you with flights, cancelations and alice. So I'm
- 4:18Speaker 1: I'm gonna put this link to the test and let's
- 4:20Speaker 1: see if I can pick up my voice. Let's see
- 4:24Speaker 1: how clever you are. Okay, this is Jannesburg. Oh what Tamber?
- 4:33Speaker 4: Thanks for corning arrival and departure information. Do you know
- 4:36Speaker 4: the flight number? Just say yes or no? No, No,
- 4:40Speaker 4: I'm not sure what you said. You must only say
- 4:42Speaker 4: either yes or no. Sorry, But this is an automated
- 4:47Speaker 4: speech recognition system. You must only give me the answer
- 4:50Speaker 4: to the question that I'm asking. I think you're giving
- 4:52Speaker 4: me a bit too much information.
- 4:54Speaker 1: It sounds like my mom, so she tells me that
- 4:56Speaker 1: when I start talking about sex at the table.
- 4:59Speaker 4: I think I'm picking up some background noise. Try moving
- 5:02Speaker 4: to a quiet place and we'll try that again. Remember,
- 5:05Speaker 4: you need to answer my question by giving me only
- 5:07Speaker 4: the information that I asked you.
- 5:09Speaker 1: You told me I said yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
- 5:14Speaker 1: How many more times you want me to tell you?
- 5:16Speaker 4: I'm still not sure what you said. This is a
- 5:18Speaker 4: speech recognition system.
- 5:20Speaker 1: Blooded. How not for someone with a speech impediment.
- 5:23Speaker 4: It's really easy to use.
- 5:24Speaker 1: Stop making fun of me, But.
- 5:27Speaker 4: You need to answer the exact question that I ask you.
- 5:30Speaker 4: Don't try and give me too much information.
- 5:32Speaker 1: Don't be clever.
- 5:33Speaker 4: I said yes right now, I need you to only
- 5:36Speaker 4: say yes or no?
- 5:39Speaker 1: Why e yes, yes?
- 5:42Speaker 4: I think I'm picking up some background noise. Goodness, I'm
- 5:45Speaker 4: moving to a quieter place and we'll.
- 5:46Speaker 1: Try that again for goodness sake. Man, I'm in a library.
- 5:49Speaker 1: How much quiet do you think it can get?
- 5:51Speaker 4: Okay, so you say the.

- 7:04Speaker 1: Now, look, I have a flat problem there because I
- 7:06Speaker 1: bought this fine from cas Converters and it's missing A
- 7:09Speaker 1: seven and nine and a three.
- 7:12Speaker 4: Let me transfer you to a consultant, existence.
- 7:16Speaker 1: To our human after all of that, now we go
- 7:20Speaker 1: to a human.
- 7:21Speaker 2: I didn't like how you treated Ethan. I convinced Ethan.
- 7:26Speaker 2: I didn't like that he was so professional.
- 7:29Speaker 1: He was, but he had no idea. Hey, we say
- 7:35Speaker 1: no to AI the amazing Rhianna with disturbia here on
- 7:39Speaker 1: k for mornings. All right on the prank. Here you
- 7:43Speaker 1: had your comments. Here we go. Must say.
- 7:46Speaker 2: I think Ai won didn't get angry once and.
- 7:50Speaker 1: Then when he really didn't know what you're looking for,
- 7:54Speaker 1: put you through to human.
- 7:56Speaker 2: That was a great prank. I'm not a fan of
- 7:59Speaker 2: AI and music myself.
- 8:01Speaker 1: The team, Oh, wicked. You've just proven a very very
- 8:06Speaker 1: valuable point.
- 8:08Speaker 5: This AI is not needs to be adjusted and needs
- 8:13Speaker 5: to be looked at for those people that have a
- 8:17Speaker 5: speech imperiment, because it's only for the strong. So you've
- 8:23Speaker 5: proven a very very good point. And I hope the
- 8:26Speaker 5: people developing these systems listened.
- 8:29Speaker 1: Amabe. Somebody's an emergency and he has a speech.
- 8:32Speaker 5: Impairment and the only thing he can answer is AI.
- 8:35Speaker 1: By the time I put you to a human, he
- 8:36Speaker 1: is dead.
- 8:39Speaker 2: Sure, not to your prank solving major problem? Sure we
- 8:45Speaker 2: want to talk to human beings.
- 8:46Speaker 1: Yeah, guys, I just take it day by day, trying
- 8:50Speaker 1: to save the world one issue at times. Yeah, no,
