You are not impressed? This seems way better than most of my experiences with customer service people.
ReplyDeleteEverytime I access my online bank account from a new location, it sends out a one-time-password as a text to my phone, which I have to enter as part of the log-in process. I am currently traveling abroad and I emailed my bank before I left. I wanted to know if there was any provision to access my bank account when I am traveling and wouldn't be able to use my cell phone (with the Indian sim card). The customer service person responded to me like she had never heard of such a scenario. Her attitude was something like, "why would you not pay the extra money to keep your SIM card usable when traveling abroad? Everybody else does."
With Eliza, one certainly doesn't have to deal with this sort of tude. :-)
No, I am not impressed. I mean, it told me what I wanted to know, but look at how quickly I could tell that it was not human!
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting that you kept writing in complete sentences, instead of just trying to guess the right keywords for it. Also, I imagine that learning you were talking to a computer would help you speak to it in a way that would give you helpful answers faster.
ReplyDeleteYes, I do that more and more. When I enter a query in a search engine, I also tend to write a complete sentence in natural language.
