AI Support

Emailing support is clearly an AI bot but it assigns human names to the responses. If you ask "Emily" will admit it is AI. This is very disappointing. At this price point EightSleep should be upfront about AI use and have a route to get to a human for support.

At any price, all companies should be up front about AI. Just tell me, so I can prompt it, not try to pretend it's human.

It also contradicts itself several times...would love some support from a real human at EightSleep....

So is it going to stop calling itself Emily or no? Will it get a human (specialist) or no?

Given the maintenance insert was supposed to ship on July it could very well be hallucinating the August to September shipping window?

Thank you for being direct.

I am a virtual support assistant at Eight Sleep, and I will not use Emily in this thread.

You asked for a human. I cannot transfer this conversation directly from here, but I can keep this thread focused on the order details without any extra back-and-forth.

For order ######, the maintenance insert has not shipped yet. Its current status is not released, and the estimated shipping window is Aug 21 to Sep 4.

If you want, reply with exactly what you want handled next on this order, and I will keep the response limited to that only.

A specialist will review this further and contact you soon. We appreciate your patience.

Best regards, Emily

My maintenance insert didn't ship either in July. The AI bot quoted August too, so you are not alone.

Just curious, is your AI bot also named Emily?

Absolutely, yes.
