"Oh no, you see, it's not because sales have fallen off a cliff, it's because we've replaced the workers with AI."

"So, your AI is just as busy as the workers you laid off would have been?"

"I don't have numbers on that."

"And, how is customer satisfaction?"

"Overall number of complaints are down."

"Well where are those numbers?"

"I don't have those numbers"
