Golly, artificial intelligence just keeps getting smarter and smarter, as reader Matt’s conversation today with CompUSA shows.

“Andrew : Although you can’t use a gift card for delivery, you can reserve items on-line with one of your credit cards for store pick up. When you get to the store, switch payment to the gift card. Your credit card will not be charged.
Andrew : Sorry about the pause
Andrew : Network hiccupped
Customer: no problem, are you a robot?
Andrew : Not today, today I’m an airplane
Andrew : Tomorrow I’ll be a fireman
Andrew : >;)”

Aw, that’s really cute Andrew. We have no idea why CompUSA online was voted 3rd worst in holiday shopper satisfaction.

Maybe next you can transmogrify into a website that doesn’t suck. — BEN POPKEN
