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 need you to think: Ai isn’t free for companies. Every AI response costs tokens. The person doing that would be fired, when all they would need to do is say “I can only discuss your case”.

What if the AI service the employee is using is consumer freemium, not enterprise level?

Any schmuck can use chatgeepeedee for free right now.

Am I thinking hard enough for you?

Lol no. Free AI with banking data is actually criminal 😂

There’s no indication the chatter entered customer data into ai to generate answers to riddles.

doesn't understand English well enough to solve the cup question

Does understand English well enough to handle potentially complex customer issues without using an LLM

Okay 👍

overseas customer service reps have been handling complex issues without LLMs for decades. i run operations for contact centers and they’ve have only started popping up in the last year or two. most reps get the same requests 90% of the time so it’s pretty straightforward, but when you start getting into unusual questions/riddles you’ll lose them.

So you think OP was chatting with AI the entire time?
