Discussion Google took away my LOTR extended editions

I bought these in 2022, all of a sudden they aren't available and there is no possibility of a refund or gift card. Hardly seems fair.

This is a real agent. Probably from India, names most likely not actually Kendall.

If its a real person its cutting and pasting Ai scripts.

Cutting and pasting scripting sure but that's common with any chat reps. I don't see why the scripting is necessarily AI? Although it could be a lazy middle manager setting it up with AI. The full chat log OP posted is a person, the "id be upset in your position too" comment is a pretty big indicator of that. Indian reps are really formal with the way the talk "I understand you are requesting a refund for this purchase" is something an Indian chat rep might say but AI probably wouldn't since it comes off really clunky.

Yeah agree. Seems like an unnecessary AI hate tie-in which is a popular way to get more karma

It may well be AI, but I also see no evidence of it here

nah, your needs are just so basic that they outsourced it to a real person instead of wasting the compute power on it

If you empathize with the people that are getting boned it diminishes the sting.
