WHat do I think? I think you must not have much experience using AI, because if you had you would not consider this.

AI tech support, AI summarizers, try them! Are you actually impressed with them? Be honest. I find them infuriating, stupid, and pointless. You can't trust what they say.

You know how people feel about used car salesmen? They also feel that way about AI sales reps.

I'd like you to sit next to me the next time I try to coax actual details and puzzle through contradicting statements from a tech support bot. I will periodically turn to you with a pleading look on my face, as if to say "Did you see that? And you think that's okay?" and then I will open my mouth and say the same words that my face shouted.

Undortunately, it's getting to the point that the moment I suspect I'm dealing with AI I am out.

You should pre-record your demos and provide documentation and contact info. Absolutely nobody is impressed by your fucking bot.

Hey, yeah I respect your opinion, of course!

That's why in the beginning of the call it discloses it's an AI. Not all people are cool with it, but for most people who are not into tech, it's actually a fun experience I would argue
