In August, 2018, WestJet introduced their AI chatbot named Juliet – a digital travel assistant to help customers via Facebook Messenger. While Juliet is busy “learning the ropes”, there are bound to be some mis-steps. Here’s a gem;
A WestJet customer wanted to share a positive review after a ‘above and beyond’ service in-flight. She sent the following message via Facebook Messenger;
“Shout out to the crew member on my flight today … who helped me take care of a plant cutting by breaking out her own duct tape and helping me make a protective case to get a new succulent home,”
Juliet’s response;
“We take these comments very seriously, If you’re having these thoughts, please reach out to the Canada Association for Suicide Prevention, You can find your local hotline at https://suicideprevention.ca/. In emergency, please call 911.”
Ha! Clearly, Juliet has a long way to go. Let’s hope it survives a performance review 😉
On a positive note, the WestJet customer assured CBC News that she was not suicidal.
