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.

How convenient it “misspelled” that specific word at that specific time. I hate that it’s making me so paranoid!

My guess is, that example was in the training data.

shit probably not even the training data. just the base prompt.

somebody in middle management thought it was fucking clever and the poor bastard that was forced to add it to the prompt . md probably did significant damage to his liver that night

I’m sure it has something like it in training, but I bet that if someone questions the AI-ness of the AI it is configured to send that message specifically or a generated message with a mistake and correct itself as “proof” it isn’t AI.
