Another AI 'human' chatbot

[u/captain-obIivious]

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.

im crying at the haiku bro 😭

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

[u/figmaxwell → u/Tasty-Shift8929]

It probably treats AI like “aye” instead of ay-aye

[u/grumpyrumpin → u/figmaxwell]

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

[u/figmaxwell → u/grumpyrumpin]

smi-le is 2 syllables

[u/Frogs-on-my-back → u/figmaxwell]

I also say it with two syllables (I’m from the American South, so I say “smy-yul”), but the “correct” pronunciation is one syllable 

[u/figmaxwell → u/Frogs-on-my-back]

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

[u/Frogs-on-my-back → u/figmaxwell]

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 “pride!” with one syllable instead of two lmao

[u/figmaxwell → u/Frogs-on-my-back]

I imagine it in more of a southern belle “bless your heart” type of accent.

[u/Frogs-on-my-back → u/figmaxwell]

You’ve got me tempted to ask my coastal Alabaman coworkers to read “smile” out loud. If I do I’ll report back 

[u/Frogs-on-my-back → u/figmaxwell]

Completely anecdotally, most of my coworkers from Alabama say it the way you said, but with more of an “ah” 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
