I did a year in support and being able to talk normally was a nice part of my job but having it be blown up on Twitter every time you don't act like a robot would suck and make me stick in robot mode.
If you're contacting support you're probably talking to someone who just wants to help you with your problem and make you walk away feeling good.
Unless it's one of the companies that uses ai then they don't give a single fuck about you
I work in support and can confirm I generally want to make people happy. Unless the person calling is an asshole, in which case they get the bare minimum and some shit talk in the work group chat.
the fact that somewhere in some employee handbook it probably says "Ask the customer about their life and act interested. Say something personal about your life in order to create a bond."
Man,reminds me of a LPT one of my college buddies told me: he keeps a piece of jewerly wrapped up with a generic card that just says "I Love You" in his house so that if he ever forgets a birthday / anniversary / whatever, he can tell his wife, "I didnt forget,just go look in the [place where he hid it]"
"Why is it covered in dust?"
"you don't clean well enough"
(Do not actually ever say this)
"Luckily I got you this monogrammed feather duster for....your birthday? Our anniversary? Shit, is it Christmas?"
Proof the chat is not AI... or is it?
Today's proof that it's not AI is tomorrow's alarming evidence of how fast AI is advancing.
When will AI be advanced enough to forget my wife's birthday?
It only has to pretend to
Based on the comments, a lot of people have trouble remembering this stuff. Don't get me wrong, I do too. Most calendar apps (Google, Outlook, idk others) have reminders you can set however much time in advance you need, for whatever sort of event or reminder you need. For a lot of birthdays I'll have a month before reminder so I can order something online or remember to pick something up, two weeks reminder so I can either check on shipping or in case I forgot to get whatever I thought of, a week reminder because I might have forgotten twice before or whatever needs to ship, then day of or day before so I can tell the person so it doesn't seem like I forgot already 3 times even with reminders.
