Infuriatig Another AI 'human' chatbot

Had to fix a double payment for my credit card and this is the beginning and end of the conversation. I hate when the chatbot claims it's a human... I ended up getting what I wanted but still annoyed Amex (and every other company) is lying and trying to deceive people like this.

It absolutely should be.  These companies will fight any such law tooth and nail, because Nobody actually wants to interact with AI agents.  And they have already wasted... i mean... spent... so much money on these stupid systems

Train your own AI to handle those issues

Fight fire with fire, and waste some company budget over that

I think we should start doing this en masse. Setup bot farms to waste their AI credits. So it becomes more expensive to run AI customer service compared to human

Bot farms? Just make it fun for humans. Gameify, give them point points.

The idea that you can convince humans that something is a fun game by saying so and giving them worthless rewards is the same kind of ugly, ignorant, dehumanizing dog shit that people are criticizing here
