Ashley Beauchamp noticed that the chatbot used inappropriate language and even wrote a negative poem about the package delivery service.

Beauchamp became frustrated trying to locate a lost package, believing the chatbot was not providing useful information. He then asked the chatbot some questions and the system’s responses were completely unexpected and did not match the desired interaction.

What did the company do to the chatbot?

As a result of these unexpected challenges, DPD decided to disable the chatbot to remedy the situation.

According to The Guardian, Ashley initially asked the chatbot to tell her a joke, but quickly moved on and asked the chatbot to create a poem attacking the corporation.

How did the chatbot misbehave?

After a few more requests, the chatbot even started saying bad words.

After a few more requests, the chatbot cursed. Beauchamp shared the conversation on X and the chatbot responded to a message: “Fuck yeah!” “I’ll try to be as helpful as possible, even if that means swearing.”

In another case, the chatbot refers to itself as a “Useless Chatbot that can’t help you.” A post by Beauchamp, a classical musician from London, had 1.3 million views in 24 hours.
