"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
Above is basically same thing in Slovak
"How can I talk with a human?"
"Hello! You can talk with a human in person, through phone, or various chatting applications. If you want to contact someone through SMS or call, with our service SWIPE you'll manage it perfectly. If you have any specific question about SWIPE, feel free to ask!"
Maybe try to banter/question AI, and ask if it is in fact a human.
Then when it says no (I hope AI is at least that self aware), then let your inner Karen emerge and demand to speak to an actual human!
Disclaimer: I am neither AI nor a Karen, but every once in a while, sometimes bitching at the system can actually get you in contact with a real person.
One way that worked for me to get in contact with a human on AliExpress was mentioning "credit card chargeback". Someone on Reddit mentioned using that, and it worked for me too right away.
Cool cool 👍
The method I was referring to is sort of similar, but involves literal cursing, like "Fuck this shit, I wanna talk to an actual goddamn human!"
See, this isn't quite even my own average everyday language, but at least some of the AI contact systems have a fallback mode that puts you in contact with a real human if you curse too much.
Pro tip: If you actually do get past the AI system with that trick, be nice to the real human that responds...
The last time I had issues with a chat bot, I had said “you are worthless” and that somehow got me to a real person. So, maybe try demeaning the bots into submission.
