I had an experience this evening that is making me consider the opposite side of the AI makes you dumb argument.

My cell phone contract is up. The telco calls me to say that I can have a cheaper contract with a "free" Pixel 10 phone if I renew it with them.

I tell the rep that I will renew, but I don't need a new phone. Just take off its prices from my bill.

She answer that the price goes up if I don't take the a new phone because that is part of the promo and the non-promo price is higher.

I say this makes no sense to me. Why would I pay a higher price to not get a free phone. Lower the price.

She says, ok, let me find you the right deal. Spends half an hour searching. Then tells that she found a deal where the price will not go up and I will have the same price as the promo without the phone.

Which leads me to think that when the AI becomes as common as tap water, the media will blame it for brainless responses. But this will completely miss the mark that there are already too many brainless people like that rep. AI will be a great step up for her.
