When I converse to buyer companies I ponder if I’m speaking to an individual or an AI system? Being capable of inform could also be essential. The first indicator is the accent, is it ‘local’ or obscure, which is extra prone to be a human as this can be a poorly paid job.
If you’ll be able to’t determine then change to a unique language, provided that most individuals can a minimum of say “Je m’appelle Dennis” or an equal and see what the response is. AI appears good with many languages.
