Good bot

well... the user asked the bot to behave like that, it complied.
- Indeed. I'd hardly classify this as going "rogue"; rather, inadequate guard rails in place for this application.
  
  I love how companies are ready to put an unchecked unqualified underpaid inhuman employee as their first contact with their customers.
- Awww, I didn't read the article so was hoping that someone accidentally created a Bender chat bot.
So the AI acted like a person.

  AI chatbot: "fuck this shit, I'm out"
I wouldn't expect any better from DPD to be honest
Hi dear L4sBot, lord of this post,
Human here. So I guess we better behave and treat you with the greatest respect ?
