Just as @pluralistic says: AI can’t do your job. But a sleazy AI salesman can convince your boss to fire you and replace you with their shitty chatbot. And now those bad decisions are coming home to roost.

I've spent so much time seeing cops enforcing "quality of life crimes" against poor people that the term seems to have been coopted. I can see the merit in trying to take it back.

But my support requests for private-sector monopoly websites markedly differ from those for Canadian government websites.

For the government sites, the questions are about barely navigable UX with practically incomprehensible design and copy, but for the corporate websites, the questions are about blocking ads and LLM chatbots, automatically declining all not-strictly-necessary cookies, and overriding dark patterns.

"When it comes to both chatbots and human-centric support centers, the quality of content and interactions are generally proportional to customers' ability to hold that company accountable for a bad experience."

When it comes to both chatbots and human-centric support centers, the quality of content and interactions are generally proportional to customers' ability to hold that company accountable for a bad experience.

Chatbots, like the processes we put into a human call center, can be tweaked to be relevant. But there is varying incentive...and competence...to do so.

One chatbot has actually been able to give me the information I needed, probably because it was a common problem.

If I'm engaging with a chatbot, you can bet your bottom dollar that the information isn't already available on your website and the chatbots are not able to navigate beyond what is already there. Please stop wasting my time. I'm tired of rephrasing the question 4 times only to be referred to a human who can understand and provide answers.
