they're definitely going to instruct the AI agents to lie to you, and deliberately waste your time, and be pushier than ever, because it's not costing them anything to have a real human on the line even longer. at least we'll have our own agents to waste their compute in turn

Any company that is that scummy already has sales people working for it who are that scummy and lying non-stop.

The AI isn't changing that equation at all.

AI is actually better here.

1. AI instructions are legible. There is no record asking John to sell the customer things they don't need. There is a record if the AI does it.

2. AI interactions are legible. If a sales guy tells you something false on a zoom call, there is no record of it. If the AI does, there is a record.

oh i totally agree, im saying it's gonna get worse
