After coming across this article on Gizmodo (Most Days I Feel Like This PayPal Automated Support Bot), I had to try it out myself. Apparently, this has been fixed by the company that is running the AI behind the bot, but I still had some fun with it.

This is called street-smart. Giving a third-party’s number instead of her own, then saying that she doesn’t know what I’m talking about.

AI still can’t handle any form of simple sarcasm until it is bluntly stated.

Are you seriously giving your company’s number to a bored person?
