Here’s a transcript of a conversation with Sarah when you curse at her. She recognizes four-letter words (at least)! http://mylistofdonts.blogspot.com/2009/04/131-dont-have-encouraged-customers-to.html

Funny. I think the message here would be that automation is not the \purpose of all meaning\ and manual testers (in this case could be the human operator) are still required and will be.

This is a lot funnier than the one I ran across. I had a problem with United Airlines, so I decided to try and contact them through email. This link on this page “Email Customer Relations” has been dead for the past month — go figure!!

but all the links for fees and charges seem to be working just fine.

I have a notion that the software heard your pronunciation of “unavailable” as some sort of generically French sounding. If they are doing Markov-chain-style stuff the potential for switching to a different language from English might have been increased by the number of missed communications (from the perspective of the algorithm).

Surreal.

Haha! I guess both Sarah’s won’t pass the Turing-test.
