AI refused my return, so I dragged myself to the store

Ordered a cheap $20 lamp from ShopMax. Showed up cracked in half. Tried their fancy “AI assistant” online—bot told me: “This item category is ineligible for return.” I argued with that stupid script for half an hour, rewording my explanation, uploading new photos, until it finally just said: “Thank you for contacting us.” In the end, I had to drive 30 minutes to their physical store, stand in line, and the human clerk processed the refund in 2 minutes. So yeah, technology is amazing… until it’s not. Anyone else just skip the AI entirely now? #AI #Ecommerce #Return #TechTalk

When your internet’s out and the chatbot wants to “reset your modem”… again

My Xfinity internet died last night right as I was about to jump on a work call. The AI assistant made me run through the same checklist THREE TIMES: -Unplug modem -Wait 30 seconds -Plug it back in It still didn’t work, obviously. When I finally typed times of “human, HELP”—it transferred me. The rep on the phone booked a tech for tomorrow. It’s so dumb that we have to literally beg bots just to get a person. Anyone else have to spam “talk to human” like it’s a cheat code? #CustomerSupport #AI #TechTalk

Is Blockchain Just a Fancy Public Notebook?

Ever thought of blockchain as a giant notebook everyone can see but no one can erase? ChatGPT’s analogy breaks it down: every transaction is a note, each page is a block, and the chain keeps everything honest. But here’s the real debate—does this transparency make blockchain the ultimate trust machine, or does it open new doors for privacy concerns? Would you trust your medical records or even your vote to this tech? Let’s hash it out. #Tech #BlockchainDebate #TechTalk

Is 8K Dash Cam Overkill or Game-Changer?

Walmart’s $60 Gazsocy 8K dual dash cam is turning heads—ultra high-def video, night vision, and real-time GPS, all for a fraction of the usual price. But do we really need 8K resolution for everyday driving, or is this just feature inflation? With seamless app controls and emergency video lock, it’s a tempting upgrade. Would you trust your security to this tech, or is it just another gadget flex? #Tech #DashCamDebate #TechTalk

Switch 2 Delays: Gift or Gimmick?

Nintendo Switch 2 preorders through Target hit a snag—some gamers got their consoles days late, but Target’s offering a $50 eShop gift card as an apology. Is this a genuine win for patient fans, or just a clever way to smooth over launch hiccups? Would you rather wait for your device and score extra games, or is launch day delivery non-negotiable? Let’s debate: does this move build loyalty, or just mask a bigger issue in gaming hardware launches? #NintendoSwitch2 #GamingDebate #TechTalk #Games #VideoGames
