AI is worse for the company than outsourcing overseas to underpaid call centers. That is how bad AI is at replacing people right now.

I feel no sympathy for either the company, the AI, or the overseas people.
It does make me smirk a little though.

Do you know why we have had reliable e-commerce since 1999? Porn websites. That was the use case that pushed credit card acceptance online.
The demand is so huge that firms would rather stumble a bit at first to save huge amounts for a bad but barely sub-par UX.

I’m frankly amazed this many of them realized the sheer idiocy of their decision.

I fully support that shift to AI customer service, on the condition that everything their AI support bot says is considered legally binding.

I'm honestly still not in favour of it until the jobs they are replacing are adequately taken care of. If AI is the future, we need more safety nets. Not after AI takes over, before.

Teach me how to trick a chatbot to give me millions of dollars, wise one, but for real.

Ai hallucinates to fall much to be useful.
If you're gonna have a 24 hours chat bot to answer questions online, fine, but have people on the line ready to solve actual problems.

No idea honestly.

schrieb am 13. Juni 2025, 23:38 zuletzt editiert vonNah, AI chatbots are at least useful for the basic repetitive things. Your modem isn't online, is it plugged in? Want me to refresh it in the system? Comcast adding that saved me half an hour a month on the phone.
I fully believe they're at least as good as level 1 support because those guys are checking to see if you're the type to sniff stickers on the bottom of the pool.

Hilariously, many of these companies already fired staff because their execs and upper management drank the Flavor-Aid. Now they need to spend even more rehiring in local markets where word has got round.
I’m so sad for them. Look, I’m crying
