My AI voice assistant started swearing at me during a client demo in Chicago

I was showing off this new voice AI tool to a potential client at a coffee shop on Michigan Avenue, and out of nowhere it responded to a question about pricing by saying 'that's a stupid question.' I just froze, laughed it off as a 'beta glitch,' and quickly closed the laptop. Has anyone else had an AI model just completely snap during a live demo?

Unpopular opinion: most AI customer service bots are just automated blame deflectors

I spent 45 minutes yesterday trying to cancel a subscription through a chatbot that kept looping me back to the same menu options. The bot literally told me it couldn't transfer me to a human because my issue was 'outside standard resolution parameters.' Does anyone else think these bots are designed more to protect companies than actually help customers?
