@SecurityWriter wasn't that the evil corporation from Scanners

[securitywriter@infosec.exchange]

@noiseician Probably. At this point, I'm past caring

Gonna be a remake called Scammers this week I think.

I always try to be courteous and understand of those doing customer support. I've been in the trenches in that role in a past life. It's a hard, gruelling job if you have a conscience.

At this point, though, after being given the pre-treatment by their AI powered rage-fluffers, I'm fully prepared to go fucking nuclear on a hair trigger.

ESPECIALLY if you don't make a distinction between AI and human interaction.

How is this a good customer experience?

@SecurityWriter It is easy to make me riot-ready with AI usage.

This happens when the AI is used as destructive tool: it makes you burn your time without moving forward. It shell remove the least motivated 30% of customers from the support queue. Once I am through that layer of defense, I am no longer willing to take prisoners.

What I really use positively: AI powered search on documentation and knowledge bass articles. This can really save time.
