I actually had a good experience with a chatbot when returning an item. I was free to ask really dumb questions I wouldn’t ask a person. If I had to pause to look up information, I didn’t feel bad making the chatbot wait. And it was exceedingly polite and solved my problem.

I think this was with JCrew which has good customer service. So I assume they programmed the chatbot to be generous with customers. Not every company would be like that.

Cette critique met en lumière la frustration des utilisateurs face à un support souvent labyrinthique. Un rappel nécessaire d’améliorer l’accessibilité du service client.

AI slop, opinion disregarded. I have no idea what you said (I'm a stupid American who can't translate) but either way, AI as we know it has no place in the world. It's the antithesis of knowledge and creativity, which is kinda... Humanity's entire thing.
