    Ha, these fucking assholes. Glad to see they got forced to honor it. That’s what you get for jumping on bad tech in order to save a few bucks.

    Hope other companies face the same liability if they rely on AI chatbots.

      Some see it as an opportunity to make the chatbots better, some see it as a reason to shut them down. You luddites sure are an interesting bunch.

        I’m not inherently opposed to the tech - you can’t really stop progress anyway.

        What I AM opposed to is rolling out things like this with the intent to replace humans, while also making the user experience worse.

        I’ve tested Chat GPT and things like it professionally. They have their uses, but direct customer interaction and replacing an actual customer service employee is not (yet) one of them.
