Honestly one of my favorite early applications of AI was as customer service. The CS people I talk to always seem pissed with
something.
One conversation:
Me: "Hello, I'd like to ask why all the loyalty points from my MILES card is gone."
CS: "Sir, it says here that you upgraded your MILES card to a SMILES card. If you did not request a points transfer, they are gone."
Me: "Okay, how do I do that?"
CS: audible eyerolling "You should have done that while applying for an upgrade."
Me: "You can verify my details for both, right? Can't you transfer the points over?"
CS: "Ugh." Hangs up
Whereas AI would always politely answer questions, even the dumb ones like this.
