It hasn’t yet crossed my mind that we would soon have to start attaching a hand-drawn signature of ours to each of our email just to prove that we are indeed humans.
Always a step ahead, companies already show that they won’t be ever interested in distinguishing real people from robots. After all, both are only just means of generating revenue, no?
This should be prosecutable fraud.
Is this a thing? Helping me putting my best foot forward? How far is that gonna get me? Maybe I’ll just take the 1:2 chance of getting it right myself?
This looks like an ad. There have been fake signatures in ads for decades. I regularly get mail made to look like it’s handwritten even though its printed, because they’re trying to sell something and want you to read it.
Anderson windows got me a few times with the hand-written font
Not gonna lie. I felt betrayed when I found out Betty Crocker was a marketing invention.
“An apple a day keeps the doctor away” was a marketing slogan from Big Apple
“When it rains, it pours” was a marketing slogan from Morton Salt
There are more lol
Whenever a prerecorded message plays over a tannoy saying something like “we apologise for the inconvenience” I get annoyed.
There is no “we” to be apologetic. The message could express what has gone wrong, or what is being done, but expressing emotion on behalf of a non-living entity can fuck right off.
“We are experiencing higher than normal call volume” is one that sets my asd brain off like crazy. You don’t constantly have higher than expected calls you’re a fucking liar with insufficient staffing
If expectation depends on wishful thinking and not on reality, everything is possible.
As long as bad support doesn’t influence profit , why even care?
I appreciate the newer gens of ACDs.
“We’re currently experiencing more calls then expected. Your current wait time is 20 minutes. Press 1 if you’d like us to call you then, otherwise you can stay on the line.”
Well, thank you. No need to bring empty apologies into it when you’re giving me information and options.
Edit: Of course, I’m finally talking to someone an hour later because I keep missing the callbacks. But that’s on me and I apologise for any inconvenience I may be causing.
“email me with any quesions”
‘quésion’ is Spanish for ‘cheesing’.
I’d be interested in a cheesing; but is that to bestow cheese upon me, or to festoon cheese upon me? One of them is vastly better than the other.
I mean, typos happen.
Let’s ask Jeeves
Let’s see what bonzai buddy says
Nah, the Virtuagirl, the desktop strippers!
That picture looks like it’s from a '70s cookbook.
How do we know she doesn’t exist? I’m more than willing to believe it’s true but if you don’t provide evidence, your argument is as valid as the average conservative rag.
I can’t speak for this case in particular, butI did encounter a number of job finder and résumé help websites with AI personae presented as real people with human names while I was job searching. At least ZipRecruiter does disclose somewhere on their site that their AI “Phil” isn’t a human, despite its use of personal pronouns such as “I” in emails.Edit: Actually, I was able to find “Claudia Baker” in my old emails from the time when I was job searching. The résumé review from JobLeads is no longer available so I can’t provide the text output, but I 100% remember it being a frustrating load of AI slop in a time when I was desperate for help and really wondering what was wrong on my end. The situation was incredibly manipulative and insulting.
Wonder how many people I interact with don’t exist
Heck, I’m not sure whether YOU exist, and I’m assuming you’re pretty sure about the matter.
How do I know I’m real? Maybe this is how AI feels.
I wonder if this AI will eventually get done for sexual harassment given Sam Altman is opening up smut on OpenAI platforms
Are we sure this isn’t just a slop frontend for a pig butchering scam LLM?
