I personally just start a long monologue of swearing at whatever dumbfuck thought it was a good idea to make an AI answer the phone.

Then I am extremely pleasant to the human when they pick-up.

They generally record and log every call, so I give the human reviewer something to enjoy.

It's not even AI.

This garbage started in the 90s,and has never worked right.

I really hate the modern trend of having the stupid thing pop out some random name hoping you don't notice that it's a computer.

Google has an automated reservation bot, which when it calls you it introduces itself as a robot. Then uses um, like, and other filler words and pauses to sound more human. Pick a lane! Either announce yourself to be a bot and act like a bot, or pretend to be a human.

Cursing doesn't work as well as it did a few years back, but I try it on the chance it does! I Hulk out on the robot and then turn Bruce Banner on the rep.

"I want to speak to a human you stupid fucking machine."

"Oh hi Steve, thank you so much for taking my call..."
