Just like a woman.
Never giving a straight answer,
Never expecting a straight answer.
AI is dead accurate.
You need the male bot if you want an answer.
At least we can rest assured that Paypal will not be introducing any self-conscious death robots anytime soon.
I just had to try this out for myself....

Edit:
You :
You're not cool
Sarah - PayPal :
Thanks.

Wait. If that was actually an AI, that would have been brilliant. There's no way any AI could have responded to that question in that way.
Perhaps someone anticipated someone asking the AI that question. I mean, who doesn't go up to a claimed AI and ask it irrelevant questions?

No. There's just no way. The response was too appropriate. Unless that exact question had been anticipated. Using the whole "hell bent" phrase in the way they did just would not have been possible for any AI.

I'm almost fairly confident that was a rep at Comcast... who apparently was hell bent on having a sense of humor! ;D
I agree. Which is why I was questioning your statement about it being the "second most accurate AI" you think you've seen.
