Just keep chanting " Agent "over and over. Or, alternately, stay silent when prompted to answer the robot's queries. This usually will work to bring a human to the phone.
I like Wendy's. I've also noticed that at some stores that after I pay at the first window and move to the second (pick-up) window I would be waved back 10 feet until my order was ready. It didn't make any sense until I realized that the store probably a timer triggered when a car pulls up to the second window and they would get yelled at in the customer had to wait 15 or maybe 30 seconds to get their order. Since assembling an order in that time was not possible they tried to keep cars off the timer. Because micro-managing a fast food restaurant is such a great idea.
And what these tech bros don't understand is that when AI may take your order someone human is going to have to assemble it. Just like AI isn't going to pick your tomatoes or oranges because it's just a chatbot with no hands. What it's good at is writing reports, editorials and opinion pieces. The people most likely to be displaced by AI are the pundits and middle managers. You know, the people now gloating about how AI will displace all the poors.
Lessee…who eats at Wendy’s? Mostly people in a lower income bracket, or those who are really hungry and it’s 9:30 and everything else is closed. Who doesn’t eat at Wendy’s? AI, at any time or for any reason. So…Step 1: Fire all the people who generally come back and pay for your product. Step 2: Something something something. Step 3: Profit!
Matt Walsh is just worried because he knows even the worst AI can do his job a thousand times better than he does and Benny will dump his sorry ass without so much as a backward glance.
"You know, we’ve really gotta drop the “Are there no workhouses?” as a standard-bearer for abject cruelty to the poor, because these fuckers don’t want the poor to have work or houses."
Their favored Presidential candidate is talking about literal concentration camps for the homeless, and getting cheers for it. Yeah, I think that maybe they just don't want "certain people" to continue to exist.
These assholes seem to forget that AI isn't free, and neither are robots or the support and subscriptions that will inevitably accompany such "progress". Meta stock dropped 15% because of the billions they've spent and will continue to spend on AI, and Sam Altman (our next SBF or FElon) is stating that he needs a trillion dollars to make AI "really work".
So you aren't getting a $6 happy meal again morons.
LOL we know what the "AI" algorithms will be trained on so expect the racism in service to increase. Which is another reason these chuds will love it. What a grim future.
Ikr. Like you don't go on Indeed and see that every silly job that's considered "skilled labor" to the tune of maybe $18 an hour or more has literally 500 applicants in the first 24 hours.
Perhaps, that might be an indication that there's far more shit jobs with shit pay than there are (hyuk hyuk) faux "skilled jobs" with decent wages, that invariably just end up being the kind of mid level "management" that in obsessively tracking everyone else's productivity & killing their intrinsic human motivations actually decrease productivity. :P
As opposed to just actually properly staffing the departments of people (ie, offering good enough pay) doing actual work and giving them adequate resources to do what they do.

Yes, like "#1: steal underpants #3: get rich. 2? Nah.
The irony for the tech bros writing the AI code is that they'll be the first workers replaced by the fruits of their labor.
"They cheer for the idea of AI taking people’s jobs so that business owners can save money."
To be fair, the business owners will be forced to save money when no one can afford to buy their products, because every one lost their jobs.
'Dumb' voice mail systems are infuriating enough. Now let's use a system programmed to make you hang up and keep paying.
Tumbrels, torches, etc.
No machine could have invented punk rock, no matter how well trained.
This is true, and they hate punk rock, too

Robots can never fully replace human workers. They still need to be capable of creative problem-solving when something doesn’t go according to plan.
This is not an argument against robots. I’m making the case for cyborgs
Google and FB and MS can call me when they make a AI that can make tacos at home.
I will provide all the ingredients and stove even.
At a minimum, carne asada street tacos, pollo and of course fish tacos are minimum requirements.
I will learn it to make the sauces.

The Leopards will never eat their faces "because White Supremacy" or something.
I am not worried. My online persona to Amazon has undergone almost every change possible.
Right now I am a 14 yr old girl Swiftie.
I just Shake It Off.
The automated pharmacy line turns me into a person I don't want to be. I would NEVER speak to a real human that way.

“Why? This will force people to get skilled labor jobs.”
It's just so easy - why hasn't anyone thought of this before?
