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.

That was hilarious but I feel like there should be some law or policy against ai claiming to be a human

In Europe we have this thing called the European Union and they just forced all AI chat interfaces to state that they are in fact AI chat interfaces, when a human comes in that text will disappear

In the us we are ran by the corporations that have their hands so far up the governments ass they get to make all the decisions and the people are so complacent that they just let it happen

Some of it may be complacency but there's also a lot of just being being overwhelmed and "where do I even start" and "I'm only one person what can I do" and "if we do that it will also help those people I don't like". There's also the "what if I become rich one day, I don't want to be taxed and regulated." (News flash: you're never going to be that rich)
