Chatbots saving companies a minute but costing customers certainty

Original: You're saving one minute and now I can't know if I'm talking a human

A widely shared complaint is capturing frustration with companies replacing human customer service agents with chatbots: the minute saved in handling time comes at the cost of customers no longer being able to tell whether they are talking to a person. The sentiment reflects a broader backlash against automated support systems that many users find evasive and impersonal.

Why now: Growing irritation with companies deploying AI chatbots in customer service instead of human agents.
