Ooh, there's a fun question:

Would you rather:

An AI handle customer service, or

An overseas call center handle customer service

?

Depends. Can I easily make the AI hallucinate and give me free shit/tell me something I can later use to get free shit?

iirc someone attempted that already with plane tickets.

Canada sided with the consumer, so companies are liable on what the AI will allow.

As it should be. The consumer doesn't care why the support agent offered something, if it's offered and advertised, the customer should get it. They can fix their support if it's costing them too much.
