To be fair, it’s not a great test. I’ve worked in customer support before and if we deviated from the prewritten, legal-approved script we’d get disciplined for putting the company at risk. That’s what you get in a world where people threaten lawsuits at the drop of a hat.

(That said, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Uber have replaced all their support staff with AI.)

As a support myself — you always have options tho. They could've just you know, not answer? Or worst case scenario, you usually would have some templates for rude/unrelated question. In this case it's just a bot answer.

Yeah I’ve worked in those settings to and honestly I’d be surprised if those roles aren’t already replaced by bots because really what is the human being bringing to that engagement if they’re just reading preapproved scripting? They’re just acting as a flesh robot, not a thinking human being.

not world, one cursed country

Or if they don't bother with anything but copy-pasted answers because it's less work than typing.

Don't attribute to ~~malice~~ AI what can be explained by ~~ignorance~~ lazyness.

[–] tomi000@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

Yeah this is from 2 days ago. No current AI would write such a bad response. Either they are using some AI from 2 years ago or its a lazy human.

The original quote was already stupid enough.

[–] trebach@sh.itjust.works 5 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Maybe Dan Quayle is running the bot. He couldn't spell potato either.

The smallest victory lap known to science in a world where the president sells pardons for money and rides a plane gifted by Qatar

Can I offer you an egg in these trying times?

[–] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 45 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Or perhaps a [CULINARY_TUBER_THAT_IS_NOT_A_POTATO].

[–] SolacefromSilence@fedia.io 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Perhaps an apple of the earth?

You can use those to make French fries.

Hard disagree. Bots do a lot of the work we don't want to do.
Rich people using bots to get richer are the issue.

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 37 points 1 day ago

Epstein-class billionaires rule the world, and they've handed the day-to-day management over to bots.

Dead internet is real, man. We're just vagabonds in their digital world.
