My counter is that if the question I ask the chat bot is too complicated to answer, then it should be redirected to a person that can.

Whenever I'm thinking of examples where I interface with these bots, it's usually because my internet is down or some other service. After the most basic of prompts, I expect actual customer service, not being pawned off in something else.

It really is a deal breaker in many cases for me. If I were to call in somewhere as a prospective customer, and if I were addressed my a computer, I will not do business there. It tells me everything I need to know about how a company views it's customers.

I do think "AI" as an internal tool for a lot of businesses makes sense in a lot of applications. Perhaps internal first contact for customer service or in code development as something that can work as a powerful linter or something that can generate robust unit testing. I feel it should almost never be customer facing.

I mainly disagree with you out of spite for AI, not because I disagree with the ideal vision that you have on the topic. It hasn't been super mainstream long enough for me to be burned as many times as I have been, and the marketing makes me want to do bad things.
