Artificial Intelligence Countermeasure

(+3)

[vote for,

Dealing with AI bots over the phone can be extremely frustrating and time wasting. Hearing " Sorry, I didn't get that " for the third or fourth time or " Let's try this another way " after you have clearly asked to speak with a representative may result in your screaming at these abominations. This countermeasure is a handheld device that superimposes inaudible frequencies on your voice which cause the bot to immediately connect to a human being. Several settings are available to neutralize various different bots, the last setting being the "Foghorn" in case of being connected to a rude live person.

I wish you so much luck with this.

We are currently being replaced by machines which can do our jobs more efficiently then we can and don't ask for a wage beyond being birthed and serviced.

We either all decide en masse to stop buying non-human made products or take wheteverthefuck the DoubleUEef is selling.

Try pressing 0 on your phone, or saying “Operator” or “Representative” without waiting for the prompt. It works most of the phone trees I’ve dealt with.
