@ag Nowadays, anytime I call customer service for any company, when someone answers, the first thing I ask is, “Are you a human or artificial intelligence?”
Sometimes, if it is an AI Bot, they will not at first directly answer my question but will answer something like, “How can I help you today? I can assist you with all questions”.
So, I keep asking, “I understand that but first I want you to answer my first question. Are you a human or AI?” After about the third time, if it is AI, it will finally answer something like, “No, I am not a human. I am an artificial intelligence bot but am fully capable of answering all of your questions.”
After that, I say, “I want you to connect me with a human being.” Once again, this may take two or three tries before it will finally connect you.
Anyway, I suggest everyone do this every time and keep doing it until companies eventually cave and have to hire more human customer service people back, just because there are so many “obstinate” people like us that simply refuse to speak with AI.
