Caller complains one-minute savings cost human verification

Original: You're saving one minute and now I can't know if I'm talking a human

A gripe about customer service is getting attention: a caller says a phone system that saves callers one minute now leaves them unable to tell whether they are speaking to a human or a machine. The complaint taps into wider frustration with automated phone trees and AI voice agents that companies use to cut handling times, and with the growing difficulty of reaching an actual person when something goes wrong.

Why now: Frustration with AI and automated phone systems replacing human customer service agents is a live concern.
