This is all so depressing

This, ai, everything being automated you can't even speak to customer service or a person anymore. Everyone and their mothers is an influencer trying to sell you something. I hate it. I hate this reality.

talking to an AI customer service bot when i'm trying to deal with an issue, it not being able to resolve my issue, and not being able to actually talk to anyone else drives me insane

I just came from a seminar on Zoom where AI was transcribing. That shit is not advanced enough to work well for African accents. I'd hate to have to be someone who is in need of the transcript.

tbh when you finally reach a person, they're not empowered to do shit either. it's why I stopped selling on ebay.

I hate it so much. Last year, when I was trying to inquire about a special program I would call apartments and most of them weren't answered by a human...

Also re: influencers, I'm getting soooo sick of people constantly selling us stuff over and over. It's great that people are able to make money from creating content but everything is an ad now. It feel like there's nothing genuine left in these creations. It annoys me even more when you have YouTubers doing ad reads for Better Help or something other shady business or product.
