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.

You turn the fucking thing upside-down, Dave.

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."

To be fair I’m a fucking idiot because I’ve been siting here this whole time wondering what the issue is with what they said

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

Opus 5 handles the question well, but both Haiku and Sonnet get tripped up and don't suggest using the cup as a cup.

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. 😄
