"you can save time by asking Google to call stores on your behalf."

I might have to make popcorn to watch the fallout on this idea.

i'm still waiting for the first recording of an interaction between two AIs that each think the other is a human

>Hello and greetings! I am a customer at your store and would very much find it ingratiating if I were to purchase a gift for my mother -- a piece of jewelry or a small trinket would be great.

>Hello! What a wonderful idea! Let me see what's available in our inventory. Would you perhaps like an ottoman, or some floor mats for her car?

>An ottoman is a great suggestion! It is not, however, a piece of jewelry. One could potentially call an ottoman a trinket as there is no clear definition of "trinket" that eliminates small furniture.

>You're absolutely right! Floor mats may be jewelry but an ottoman is not!

etc...

I believe you are looking for the "Annoy Customer Service Bot" and "Bureaucrat Bot" combo discussed here
