The AI at the Taco Bell drive thru actually was really helpful. Normally it took placing my order, paying and getting my food, and then getting home and eating it to regret my life decisions. The AI made sure I skipped right to regret before the actual person took over. This is the future.

Air Canada Loses Court Case After Its Chatbot Hallucinated Fake Policies To a Customer

Weirdly, my company put it as a first line of contact for customer service, and the satisfaction scores and resolution rates went up.

That said, the previous first line of contact was, like with many call centers, an offshore team that would only escalate to more seasoned onshore CS if a problem needed the big guns.
