I had a technical problem with a website today.

I tried using the chat function to resolve the problem.

They had replaced the humans with an AI chatbot.

I couldn't resolve the problem with it.

I left the website to never return.

Problem solved.

@Em0nM4stodonEm this absurdity to replace client support with poor chatbots is insane.
The last time I encountered one for a problem with my phone's company, after a while, I yelled "fuck you damn bot, I want to talk with a human operator!" and after a while I succeeded.
Any gentle try to talk with a human was useless.
The root problem are not the chatbots but the companies that constantly try to make money on our shoulders.
