I would rather just be sent to a regular old answering machine. Dealing with an AI is dehumanizing. In almost every single case where I actually need to call a place, its because I need to talk to them about something an automated system like booking an appointment, can't handle.

Congrats..?

A friend of mine worked for a call center that did car rentals, old people would call them and ask to rent a car.

Maybe the AI system should have "Press 1 to talk to AI, press 2 to leave a message" so experts like you can press 2.
