I’m sure this is a quality shitpost, but I don’t get it 😅 Can someone explain the context for this?
I don't know if I agree with the content necessarily but do find it funny if I'm following right.
When on the phone with an automated system, many of them will bypass to a real person if they hear certain phrases, "representative" being a very commonly used one. I think it's saying the way you say representative reflects your true self, whether you just calmly repeat "representative", or yell "REPRESENTATIVE" at the robot until someone picks up lol
I'm ngl I've got a little heated with those automated call bots before.
What's the point of yelling at a robot except making it harder for them to detect the word
To vent your anger
They actually have AI systems that can detect your mood.
I was in a hurry and started yelling “I WANT TO TALK TO A PERSON” over and over at the computer voice.
It finally took and when the person came on she was friendly in a “let’s deal with this crazy person” voice.
My question was easy for a person to address, but not on their menus and needed to be addressed quickly.
I am probably on a list somewhere, but until we get a social scoring regime, I should be OK.
To vent your anger
every automated phone call I've had has never been more advanced that "press 1 for support, press 2 to go fuck yourself" etc.
I'm guessing it's just a US thing? Otherwise I might give it a shot the next time my ISP double charges me
You're so lucky. The voice ones suck because you have to be somewhere really quiet and if anyone is around to hear you, they can get info on what you're calling about. It can be embarrassing.
Ah. Thanks for taking the time to explain the meme's context!
Agents another one
Dunno man. People shred me for saying “please” and “thank you” to Siri.
Because most of them switch me to a live person immediately if I yell curse words at them, but trying to guess their limited word recognition takes forever.
I asked chatgpt to explain it…surprisingly not bad:
This is humorous because it suggests that speaking to an automated phone system in a certain way—often out of frustration when trying to reach a human operator—reveals one's true character. It's a playful take on how technology can sometimes bring out unexpected sides of us, especially when it doesn’t work as smoothly as we’d like.
But it doesn't provide an explanatory context. It still assumes everyone knows what the hell these words mean, mainly "representative" in this context.
Thanks for letting us know you can't form your own opinions and have to stroke ChatGPT's nuts instead.
Aw, snooggums.
I asked ChatGPT if your post was supportive or mocking and it said I had internet connectivity problems.
I was more-so interested in determining whether chatgpt would be able to understand the humor in OP’s post, and thought it would be neat to share what it came up with.
How old are you and where do you live that you have never called some company or service and been put on hold and forced through hoops to have to ask to speak with a real person?
Have you tried considering the person may not be American? Other words and systems are used in other countries.
Have you tried considering that’s why I explicitly asked where they lived?
