I called to schedule a play date at my local dog daycare/boarding, it went to an AI answering service. I asked if it was AI since I could hear noice in the background (literal fake background chatter and noise), when she said yes, hung up. SO tired of AI everywhere. Fuck it all.

    lmao, I bet they trained the stupid thing on recordings from massive call centers. It probably thinks that all the 'background' noise is just part of how humans communicate.

    It doesn't think. People need to stop anthropomorphizing the statistical probability machine.

    You're right. I'm usually more careful about that. In fact I've even left comments just like yours in the past.

    Just goes to show how hard the marketing engine is really working to paint these things in a certain (deceptive) way.
