Went to get some laundry services and called the number. I was leery as I am in Toronto area and number was Nova Scotia.
A male sounding person answered and I started posing questions about laundry services they offered. This guy was the politest person I had heard in over a decade. Concise but vague. I thought it was VOIP delay as there was a 3-5 second pause for him to reply but realized that it was too consistent. It was a fucking AI attendant talking at me. I said stick your AI, I will not be using your services and hung up.
Grrrrr me want human.
If you’ve worked in sales, you’d know that providing false information about goods and services has been standard long before AI.
Haha, I’m not sure “we were going to lie to our customers anyway 🤷♂️” is the best pitch for the pros of AI
