I’ve been meaning to make a dentist appointment and wondering why I keep putting it off. After calling and arguing with an annoyingly sycophantic AI pretending to be a human receptionist, I remembered. And it still didn’t make my appointment.

My dentist has an AI receptionist that pretends to be a human. I called to reschedule my appointment and it hung up on me. I called again and asked to speak to a person and it said someone would call me back. They have not called me back.

I’m very upset, but I’ve got nothing of substance to contribute to the conversation on this platform. When you see me posting through it about random stuff, don’t confuse it for apathy.
