AI has kind of fucked this, but for me (also millenial) I prefer to speak to real people because they are intelligent beings with roughly the same motivations as me and usually want to help out their fellow man.

For example, I can call a local store and ask "hi, do you have this item in stock, can you check on the shelf and set it aside for me please, I will be there in 25 mins".

By contrast stuff like "click and collect" order flows online are super rigid.

Thanks to AI, you will speak to who you think is a "real person"...

I remember, some time ago, some scammer tried to get my wife to address an "urgent bank issue."

What tipped her off, was how incredibly good their "tech support" was.

Yeah, indeed.

Time to go outside more :)
