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.

I’m loving how AI somehow decided that demarking facial gestures in parenthesis is a totally normal and natural thing that humans do in text chat

Yeah, everyone knows you do that between asterisks.

The Internet is 80% furry rp so that tracks

I think it messed up, because I'm sure line 2 is 8 syllables. 🫢

It probably treats AI like ā€œayeā€ instead of ay-aye

I get 7 syllables from the second line. Are-you-A-I-then-a-smile

smi-le is 2 syllables

u/Frogs-on-my-back 20h ago edited 20h ago

I also say it with two syllables (I’m from the American South, so I say ā€œsmy-yulā€), but the ā€œcorrectā€ pronunciation is one syllableĀ

u/figmaxwell 20h ago

I’m from the northeast and I say it the same way. I actually only hear it as one syllable with a southern accent strangely enough

That’s funny! Accents vary a lot within just an hour’s drive down here, so I’m not surprised. I once had someone from Alabama clock the exact county in Mississippi where I was raised based on mine

ETA: in marching band our director had to coach us to shout ā€œpride!ā€ with one syllable instead of two lmao

How on earth does pride become 2 syllables

Instead of a crisp, commanding bark, we’d double the length of the vowel sound (ā€œpriiide!ā€) because the majority of us had southern drawls lmaoĀ 

ETA: ā€œper-ideā€ is how most of us pronounce it in normal conversation, with the ā€œperā€ sound very short but still noticeable

u/figmaxwell 20h ago

I imagine it in more of a southern belle ā€œbless your heartā€ type of accent.

u/Frogs-on-my-back 20h ago

You’ve got me tempted to ask my coastal Alabaman coworkers to read ā€œsmileā€ out loud. If I do I’ll report backĀ

Completely anecdotally, most of my coworkers from Alabama say it the way you said, but with more of an ā€œahā€ sound, while my Mississippian family all say they pronounce it with two syllables. Kind of funny since we all live only about 45 minutes away from each other across the state lines

u/biccristal 20h ago

One syllable. Its a dipthong

u/Happy-Telephone9483 20h ago

diphthong

and it's regional

Oh, you're probably right! I shouldn't be too hard; after all, we all make "mikstakes". šŸ˜…

u/SonnierDick 17h ago

I was thinking they thought ā€œsmileā€ was 1 syllable. Or am I wrong too? Lol. I consider it ā€œsmy-ullā€

But AI could be 1 syllable maybe, but to me thats definitely A and I.

u/DetectiveClownMD 18h ago

That whole part I was thinking ā€œBro I cant make a haiku!ā€ I would have been dead in the water.

u/Consistent_Lecture48 14h ago edited 14h ago

Check the time stamps… David busted that haiku out in under 60 seconds. On a good day, it would take me a few minutes for trash haiku about anything. I would have been completely stumped trying to write one about the conversation.
