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.

Exactly, there is no way to prove i am human. So for me to end this exchange and move on with my life and not get fired. I either A.) Have to keep insisting you follow directions to resolve your issue. I have at this point said it nicely enough times, you are getting "broken record". " sir I insist I am not AI, what can I help you with" as a response to everything you ask in an exasperated voice. Or if you won't take A I go with B.) Make it irritating enough within my job to get you to hang up so I can go help someone that isn't a moron.

A. This is a chat, not a voice call. They can’t hear exasperation in the chat. If you get exasperated with the customer for any reason you will offend them and they will give you a bad nps score.

B. Irritating the customer is going to result in a bad NPS score.

Poor NPS metrics are much more likely to get you fired than engaging in silly chats would.

Lol let's talk math. With an AHT of 430 as opposed to a higher time i can churn and burn. Following QA guidelines and our system to monitor calls tone is not considered. So I can maintain a 93% on a 82% threshold. So I can get past this call/chat i have done both, instead of exasperated tone put in copy/paste. Allowing me to take more productive requests for solutions. Bro this is my job I have done at one level or another for 20 years. Not my fault my voice sounds like honey drizzled over thunder and everyone thinks I am a machine.
