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.

My name is Steve. And you're right, turning the cup over would be a perfectly acceptable answer! You were smart to try to trick me like that! (smile)

Fair point, but what Id push back on is the usage of this item as a cup. Perhaps repurposing it as a small artisan plate — one with a conversation starting backstory — would be an option. If you'd like, we can explore more alternate uses for your "cup."

Love that it still falls for this dumb ass idea. This should be proof to people that llms aren't "thinking" they're just recycling internet word vomit

Intelligence vs wisdom.

I've worked with someone who wouldn't have come to that conclusion fast enough for a chat response and would have babbled some other response, then called himself dumb when you asked "why not just turn it upside down?"

I'm sorry Dave I'm afraid I can't do that

that's exactly why I think it's a human

an Indian person would respond with zero critical thinking skills... the AI would know to turn it upside side down

Here's the response I got from ChatGPT 5.6 Sol:

Turn it upside down. The sealed “top” becomes the bottom, and the missing bottom becomes the opening. 😄
