@BootsUK when did Boots get so poor at customer service? I’m a very frustrated customer still trying to get an update on an order I placed on Sunday. Should have been next day, this was an expensive gift and I have no idea when I’ll get it.

@marksandspencer I am scouring M and S stores looking for your floral collection rose or lavender roll on deodorant. Please tell me you will be restocking soon ☺️

@OctopusEnergy I emailed you at your issues em address 2 days ago re my elderly parents smart meter not working since it was installed. My 80 year old dad is having to climb ladders to read his meter!

In 2005, a cat named Oscar was adopted by a nursing home to be a therapy cat. However, he displayed an unusual behavior: he would snuggle up to residents just hours before they passed away.

Initially, this was dismissed as coincidence, but after it happened 20 times, the staff began to believe that Oscar could sense when someone was about to die.

They would then alert the residents' loved ones so they could come and say goodbye.

On one occasion, Oscar chose to sit with a seemingly healthier resident instead of the a resident that staff expected to die first, and that resident passed away before the other. Oscar died in 2022, having accurately predicted over 100 deaths.

Jon Moynihan donated over £700,000, Liz Truss nominated him to the Lords and today is his first day. If that makes your blood boil, you can sign the petition here: https://t.co/lgRJ1CISd9

@JackWolfskinUK I’m trying to get some info on a return I’ve made and finding the form on your website impossible to use.

After Sunak's nauseating gaslighting & lies aided & abetted by LK on #bbclaurak came the withering response from Baroness Louise Casey who articulately & unsparingly evisceratesd the record of the Downing St. squatter as Kuenssberg & Fraser Nelson look on aghast.
Brilliant! 🧐⬇️

[Jon Biddle @jonnybid]

Rishi Sunak's defence on #bbclaurak is about as robust as that offered by Year 6 kids when I have to question them about who's been stuffing paper down the toilets and writing on the cubicle doors. Don't know. Can't remember. Wasn't there. Didn't see it.

@Dyson

I have an ongoing order issue that is still outstanding. I am waiting for a refund which still hasn’t taken place. I also wrote a very long email explaining what happened and how disappointed I was. No response at all. Please advise how I can get a response or an update.

[mandy smith 🇺🇦 @mandysmith_moir]

@bt_uk Still waiting

[mandy smith 🇺🇦 @mandysmith_moir]

@bt_uk so my order of 17th April 2023 and subsequent complaint remains ongoing and unresolved.Sacks of equipment delivered and returned. No one at BT knows why order keeps failing. Rinse and repeat

[mandy smith 🇺🇦 @mandysmith_moir]

@bt_uk No, there’s a call scheduled for 21st according to your system but this doesn’t always result in a call. The timeline is unbelievable.

[mandy smith 🇺🇦 @mandysmith_moir]

@bt_uk I've done this many times with no change in outcome. I'm scheduled for a call tomorrow, it may or may not happen. I'll update you if it happens.

Whilst there may be some disagreement about the terminology, there is no doubt that AI is a powerful tool that has the propensity improve business and provide greater business intelligence.

[mandy smith 🇺🇦 @mandysmith_moir]

I concluded that the question of whether AI is artificial or intelligent is less important than the question of how we can use AI to improve and grow our businesses.

[mandy smith 🇺🇦 @mandysmith_moir]

However, AI is capable of performing complex tasks and making decisions based on data and algorithms. It can also help us make better decisions, automate tedious tasks, and free up time for more productive activity.

[mandy smith 🇺🇦 @mandysmith_moir]

The reason being that it is made from natural resources and human labour. Others argue that AI is not intelligent in the same way that humans are intelligent because it lacks consciousness and self-awareness.

[mandy smith 🇺🇦 @mandysmith_moir]

AI is a rapidly evolving field that has the potential to revolutionise many industries. Whilst planning the latest Scottish Enterprise workshops on Data and AI for Business I began reading more from experts who would argue that AI is neither artificial or intelligent.
