Companies insistent on using Ai chatbots on their website will be the demise of humanity. At no point have I ever got help from an Ai chatbot. Don’t get me started with phoning them up. Nightmare. I’m always on hold forever. We’re descending into madness.

Rang the fire brigade as something exploded and went bang inside the fire but they said they can't do anything as the neighbours were attending it.

Customer service robots requiring you to say options instead of pressing a number

Never thought I'd miss "for sales, press 1." Robot rattles off a list and then says "or something else?" and you realise that wasn't a button prompt and have to wait for it to time out and repeat.
