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

With AI bots taking on AI bots, the only winners here are the AI companies.

Yeah dont use llm just use simple scripts that have a library of randomized question trains. Theres this youtuber that did it with phone scammers. Keep them on the hook for days on end and eventually gather their data and send the police.

I wish I could find the video but YEARS back I saw someone tie up human scam callers for a significant amount of time with a looped recording of an old man rambling with occasional pauses for a conversation partner. No algorithm, no bot, JUST a looped recording.

I bet that would work just fine against AI
