The older I get, the less patience I have for trying to navigate these recordings. Just let me speak to a person so they can properly route my call. Don't ask me 5 questions and make me repeat the answer for 3 of them only to forward me to a voicemail. I'm at the point now where I'm reminding myself of my father more and more every day with stupid shite like this.

Rant over.

You have to get hostile with the AI so it flags their system for escalation.

Witnessed an elderly woman on speaker phone, recently curse a Raj out thinking it was AI. She said I hate you stupid fricking robot, and kept saying similar things. I was laughing and cringing on the inside for the guy who actually spoke decently.

Just wait until AI gets smart enough to use a thick Indian (dot) accent when put in these roles.

I dog curse the frick out of the machine. That generally results in getting a person. But I am certain they are going to program that out of the system soon.

It will probably start hanging up after the second F bomb.

And when you get hostile it will THEN send you to Mumbai. Thanks for nothing. Had an AI agent tell me she was still learning so be patient. (With a chuckle)

Hate when it's used on me, but love when I use it on unknown numbers that call my cell phone

It's only going to be more integrated into our lives. It's going to get much better though. I like when it works, hate it when it doesn't work. I try to talk to a live person asap.

Youtuber Kitboga uses his own AI call screening to torment scammers. His videos are pretty funny.

Agreed. I schedule an auto appointment through one and it was flawless.
