How the Dalai Lama protects me from Bots
December 1, 2011
With my morning coffee I perused my news feed and saw the host of the Australian TV channel 9 morning show bomb attempting to tell a joke to the Dalai Lama.
Its a bad joke with a useful application. Too often I get drawn in by an inbound marketing site offer to “chat. ” And I’m disappointing to find that I am bearing my soul to a bot rather than talking to another human being via Liveperson. Its so frustrating to have typed 200 words to a descendant of Dr. Spaitso before I discover that it is incapable of responding to my needs.
Back to the joke. If you have not already watched the video link above the joke is:
The Dalai Lama goes into a Pizza shop and asks the chef “can you make me one with everything.”
Yes I know, slightly funny but irritating.
Whenever I am offered a “chat” I type this joke. If the response is a smiley 
or a frown 
I know that I am chatting with a human.
But if I get a response like “That is false information. Delete it.” I know right away that I’m on a fruitless journey.
