Today's customers don't just accept interacting with virtual intelligent assistants (IAs); many prefer taking their questions to IAs rather than calling or chatting with a human agent.

In today's edition of men having outbursts on the internet, self-proclaimed feminist online dating app Bumble has issued an open letter to a user named Connor, who threw a veritable temper tantrum when a woman boldly asked him what he does for a living.

In the string of messages, Connor accused Ashley of being an "entitled gold-digging whore," because she made the grave mistake of asking Connor what he does for a living.

Lately there's been a rumble pretty much everywhere about artificial intelligence, digital personal assistants, the Internet of Things, wearables and apps for everything. I've even written myself about what the rise of digital assistants mean to search. There are some who claim that these new technologies will render search obsolete, passed over for the convenience and joy of an always-available digital world. I think they are wrong.
