With advances in customer service technology, AI (artificial intelligence) is no longer science fiction; it’s part of our daily lives, literally and figuratively. In today’s advanced business world, some techies and CX influencers – being narcissistic or superior – interpret AI bots as having nonhuman intelligence, so bots must be artificial or inferior. But in reality, as technological customer service intensifies, bots deliver intelligence to humans that is far more comprehensive and faster than human thought. So if bots are more intelligent, should we call that intelligence “artificial,” or inferior to human intelligence? Of course not. No longer are businesses seeking “artificial” intelligence, as there is nothing artificial about the intelligence that bots have delivered on their own – a NextGen version of intelligence, per se.
Then, since it’s not artificial, these bots think technically and emotionally. But emotion is not intelligence. It’s feelings. So TEA bots will be “adapting,” both “technically and emotionally”, to any response originally requested of a human. Therefore, bots should be recognized as “TEA humanoids.”
TEA humanoids that “recognize the emotional state of the person they are interacting with and be able to respond empathetically” (quote by Mike McClure, marketing and communications expert) will soon eliminate human customer support, but, unlike the Terminator movie, will not eradicate human customers. A revolution from AI to TEA, literally and figuratively.
Today, the phrase TEA humanoids, a.k.a. Technically and Emotionally Adaptive humanoids, would be too funny, but soon TEA humanoids will drive “business as usual.”
QUI TAKEAWAY: In the CX business world, “This is our time for a TEA Party Revolution!” Spread the word. Literally and figuratively.
