show them quickly that you won't do shit for them so that they hang up on you.

I do believe this is the reason why AI is so much faster than humans at this guy's company.

Reminds me of my local Rally's switching to an "automated drive thru assistant." The jank thing doesn't even respond when you talk to it, just reminds you every 60 seconds that it's ready when you are. First time I went I drove off. Went a second time thinking it might have been a fluke and I'd get actual human service. Nope. Guess I'll be finding a new burger place for my hangovers
