Can we please, for once, make this not a "Trump is evil" thread ? Besides, yes, Trump is evil, but among the general US population there are far worse people than him, and despite what you probably think, together they have far, far more control over your life than Trump does. Private individuals are already implementing something worse than China's social credit score all over America. [1] Currently they're limited somewhat by technology, and I mean that in the worst possible way: they're more limited by what they think the technology can do, more so than by what is actually possible. Building webcams that asses creditworthiness of store customers and the likelihood of returns is possible today. How long until it happens ? How long until we discover that badly dressed black people are often flagged by whatever tool comes out ? Tracking people by their faces ? Been done, easy now (hell, opencv comes with it built in, so does YOLO). Tracking/identifying people by their movements (and I mean by how they walk, how they grab things, ...) ? Been done. Tracking people by the proportions of the limb lengths ? Been done. Taking a bad human tracker, feeding it into an LSTM and get vastly better performance when presenting it with video ? Been done. And it gets much worse: outsmarting most of the human race ? Been done (let's be honest: humans have lost the Turing challenge. AIs are better at chatting up humans than other humans are). But no worries : humans still beat AIs at specific

Hard not to remember that AI parole-officer scene from the Elysium movie [1]. The AI was 'detecting' several emotional states in real-time, most notably the sarcasm. At the movie release this looked quite spot-on about the AI state. Perhaps now it's more able and sensitive/sensible. [1]: [VIDEO]

As I was reading the OP's, ahem, difficulties with customer-support AI chatbots, all I could think was, I've had the same experience too, and it sucks. The movie "Elysium," from 11 years ago, depicts what it feels like to interact with one of today's AI chatbots: [VIDEO] Naturally, in the movie, the conversation with the bot on the counter was mandated due to another bot's earlier lack of understanding: [LINK] Let us all hope that AI chatbots will get much better over time. We all need it.
