Wasn't it "Won't Get Fooled Again"?
Pretty sure it was Baba O'Riley, because my thought process went "Huh, why are they playing Teenage Wasteland? Oh, wait..."
We need to get DX in here to confirm or deny.
That's disturbing. You're emotionally scarred and will end up badly.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Fingerprint matching, which I think is called AFIS? It always looked like the technician marked a certain type of characteristic on the fingerprint and those points are matched against the database. Anyone know how that works? I watch those forensic shows and am left wondering.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Telephone operators?
Voice recognition is in enormously widespread use, and it's definitely an AI technology.
See, I don't think of those as AI because I hate them, and although it's cheaper, often less effective for me as the consumer.
I mean, I thought I was call-avoidant, but as soon as I hear that phone option tree coming, I'm hammering 0 as hard as possible to get to someone who understands what I want. Never mind the phone applications that want me to talk to them instead of hit keys. Even worse.
It's still pretending, for me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
All those things still sound like a lot of figuring, quickly, though. Isn't AI supposed to be more?

Keeping with the robot theme, today's featured gadget at CNN online is the Scooba! Considering how much I detest washing my kitchen and bathroom floors, this is something I must get.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
BTW- I love your tagline, Dana.

I don't mean customer service, I mean the actual switching. Which used to be done by people, and is now completely automated. (It's not "intelligent" persay, but it is a human job that is now done by machines.)
