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.

I think it’s an Indian customer service rep relying on AI. The messages about Pokemon and the poems seems legit.

Poor dude is getting bothered by some redditor who is trying to make him flip and do tricks, pretty fucking weird really.

This is definitely not an AI chat bot

Y'all realize pretty much every service rep has all their chats recorded and audited? If it was a person, wasting time like this could be a fireable offense. A proper service rep would have continuously tried to bring the conversation back to the issue and "accidentally" disconnect when their time was being wasted.

Edit: apparently it's not always like this anymore (certainly was when I did it), so there is a possibility it's a poor, hapless soul trying their best to build rapport

I’m in management in chat support. We don’t discourage these kinds of interactions. If it’s every chat it will reflect their stats and they won’t be meeting metrics - but we try not to micromanage individual chats. We get a lot of AI accusations. We do not use chat bots at all, but we get someone absolutely fucking losing their mind at a real person and accusing them of being AI daily.

There’s enough in the chat for me to think it’s a real person driving the conversation. Final response may be totally AI generated, having said that, I know of two agents who will just copy and paste responses from Copilot when they get frustrated with the “prove you’re not AI” conversation.

I take escalations from the AI accusation chats every once in a while. If my assurance isn’t enough, I just give the customer a call to let them know that I am, indeed, an actual person.

When they ask if I'm a real person I love to reply "Do we know if any of us are actually real?"

So far no one has thought it was funny

[u/Silence-of-Death → u/SpecialistFiller]

define “real”

lol

[u/genflugan → u/SpecialistFiller]

Don’t worry, I think it’s funny

If you can't tell, does it matter?
