"Dear customer portal team,
Your support chatbot is alienating and awful. The patronising simulation of human care, the self-reflexive "I" and "me", and the use of an AI-generated human face stereotyping young Asian women as tech-native and servile is a stain on your brand.
If you cannot budget for a human to take support requests, may I suggest significantly boosting customer morale by switching to a paperclip with dancing eyebrows. Other animated stationery products may work too."
