every automated phone call I’ve had has never been more advanced that “press 1 for support, press 2 to go fuck yourself” etc.
I’m guessing it’s just a US thing? Otherwise I might give it a shot the next time my ISP double charges me
Comment on The real personality test
zammy95@lemmy.world 8 months agoI don’t know if I agree with the content necessarily but do find it funny if I’m following right.
When on the phone with an automated system, many of them will bypass to a real person if they hear certain phrases, “representative” being a very commonly used one. I think it’s saying the way you say representative reflects your true self, whether you just calmly repeat “representative”, or yell “REPRESENTATIVE” at the robot until someone picks up lol

You’re so lucky. The voice ones suck because you have to be somewhere really quiet and if anyone is around to hear you, they can get info on what you’re calling about. It can be embarrassing.
Ah. Thanks for taking the time to explain the meme’s context!
Because most of them switch me to a live person immediately if I yell curse words at them, but trying to guess their limited word recognition takes forever.
Dunno man. People shred me for saying “please” and “thank you” to Siri.

What’s the point of yelling at a robot except making it harder for them to detect the word

They actually have AI systems that can detect your mood.
I was in a hurry and started yelling “I WANT TO TALK TO A PERSON” over and over at the computer voice.
It finally took and when the person came on she was friendly in a “let’s deal with this crazy person” voice.
My question was easy for a person to address, but not on their menus and needed to be addressed quickly.
I am probably on a list somewhere, but until we get a social scoring regime, I should be OK.
