Q: When I was 4, my sister was 2. I am now 44. How old is my sister?. Programmer: 44 - (4 - 2) = 42. Tester:

Interested in testing AI-based software?. Join me on February 12th as I share strategies for testing the inexplicable and the fuzzy.

Arcade Z80 is tired after decades of playing games with humans.

The Alexa mobile app is still horrible when there is an inconsistent data connection. It no longer pops up alerts, but is instead, incessantly yells at me: sorry! Sorry! Sorry! Sorry, you're sorry! Sorry! Sorry! Sorry! Sorry! Sorry, your mobile device. Sorry! Sorry! Sorry! Sorry.

Hey @eBay, Your recent changes to make search more fuzzy have destroyed the shopping experience. What used to be fun treasure hunts are now filled with frustration as you fill search results with irrelevant items. Do you hate your customers?.

I think I have identified the illegal alien who is eating pets. I saw it on TV. It must be true.

Hey, @Dominos,. Stop telling people in my house to recycle your pizza boxes. My city does not permit pizza boxes in the recycling, and has threatened to take away my recycling privileges and fine me. Stop it!

A new candidate for the open #deskcat position is demonstrating his keyboarding skills.

Computer programmers making computers make interactions with people worse by demanding people do things that computers can do better. Also, computer programmers making computers block and frustrate people with games of "Guess the undisclosed data structure".

Went thru a restaurant drive thru for the first time in a long time. Was required to scan a QR code and read and agree to the terms of service for using their order-taking AI to continue. #TrappedInTheDriveThru.

The ATM eventually prompts for a PIN and functions normally in spite of saying the card was inserted wrong. The anxiety injected by the erroneous error message and delay is amplified by knowledge that this ATM has previously stolen my father's card. Is there a problem here?.

This ATM often reports my correctly inserted card is inserted incorrectly and then it freezes up and doesn't return my card for a long enough period of time to cause concern that it ate my card.

This new version of The Thing looks terrifying.

E (age 6): My tooth fell out. Me: Want to sell it? . E: No. Me: I'll pay you $2 for it. E: No thanks. I'll save it for the tooth fairy. Me: Why not sell it to me? . E: The tooth fairy pays $5.

She can now walk short distances on level ground without her wheelchair or walker, but will need one if forced to walk to the assigned far away bus stop. And the bus that stops there cannot accommodate the assistive device that will be required for her to get to the bus stop.

School transportation people say child who is just now walking again after surviving being hit by a truck a few months ago is not eligible for a special close-to-home school bus stop because she doesn't require an assistive device.

I remember a time that I could tap a button on a Kindle Fire device and be in a near instant video chat with a helpful human being. Now, getting to a person requires I first go multiple rounds being beat up by a shitty battle bot pretending to be a customer service bot.

As it frustrates with incorrect and unhelpful information, it smashes frustration power boosts by repeatedly lying to me telling me that it cares about customers and understands my frustration. No bot can care or understand frustration.

Amazon's new AI customer service bot appears to be have been designed to maximize customer frustration rather than help.

I'm in the grocery store. My smart fridge at home is sending me messages telling me what food it wants me to put in it.
