I just had this experience with a payment for services today:
AI: "Please enter your, sorry, I didn't catch that."
Me: "I didn't say anything." (What a weirdo AI.)
AI: "Say "make a payment""
Me: "Make a payment."
AI: "Sorry, use a simpler word."
Me: "Payment."
AI: "So, you wish to make a statement."
Me: "Are you taking mushrooms?"
AI: "sorry, I didn't get that, sorry, sorry, sorry, I didn't, one moment..."
Me: "I said payment!"
(Wow, does this AI have Schizophrenia? I didn't even say anything.)
AI: "So, you wish to make a statement."
Me: "No, I said payment! p-a-y-m-e-n-t!"
AI: "One moment, let me get someone who can help you with a statement, one moment, one moment, sorry, I , sorry, thank you for choosing [name], goodbye!"
Me: (What an extreme weirdo of an AI)
I just had that..."conversation" with an AI three times before I finally was able to speak to customer service to make a payment:
"that company is sure determined to _not_ have my money."
Can someone put together a video of "what if people talked like AI in public while serving fast food or selling a car at a dealership."? That would be funny to see, and the mockery of AI alone could easily force giant organizations to not be so lazy if enough people liked it. bullies and critics _hate_ it when you get snarky because they don't know how to overcome that.
