We live in an especially hilly area of Atlanta, which is an especially hilly city, and we\u2019d both just gotten bonuses at work, making the nearly $2,000 per bike feel, for a moment, digestible.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">We placed our orders online, and days later, my fianc\u00e9e\u2019s beautiful, feature-rich bike arrived at our door. Mine, bought separately from a different retailer, was delayed, then delayed again, and again.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Finally, one Wednesday evening, I got a text from FedEx confirming that my bike had been delivered to our address and signed for. This seemed impossible, considering that when the text arrived, I was standing in my kitchen, bicycle-less, air-frying a batch of chicken thighs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">I checked outside our apartment; my package wasn\u2019t there. So, I checked my order confirmation, only to learn the bike had been signed for by someone with the mysterious initials \u201cM.M.,\u201d which don\u2019t match those of myself, my fianc\u00e9e, or anyone in our building. Whether it was stolen, misplaced, or delivered to the wrong address didn\u2019t matter as much as finding a solution. I set out to do that the following day by calling FedEx&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/tag\/customer-service\/\" class=\"text link\">customer service<\/a> line for help.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">What followed was a monthslong descent into the bowels of customer service hell, during which I spent hours in virtual, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/tag\/chatbot\/\" class=\"text link\">chatbot<\/a>-governed waiting rooms\u2014with FedEx, the bicycle company, my bank, my credit card company, and even my local police department\u2014desperately trying to find a real, living person who would speak to me, let alone solve my $2,000 problem.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall\">The New \u201cSludge\u201d<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Perhaps the strangest thing about my situation is how incredibly normal it has become. In recent years, corporations have employed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/tag\/artificial-intelligence\/\" class=\"text link\">artificial intelligence<\/a> with a particular verve in their customer service arms, often at the cost of human employees.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">In a survey of customer service leaders published in April, <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/www.gartner.com\/en\/newsroom\/press-releases\/2026-04-28-gartner-survey-finds-eighty-five-percent-of-service-and-support-leaders-are-expanding-human-agent-responsibilities-despite-expectations-of-mass-ai-layoffs\" class=\"external-link text link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.gartner.com\/en\/newsroom\/press-releases\/2026-04-28-gartner-survey-finds-eighty-five-percent-of-service-and-support-leaders-are-expanding-human-agent-responsibilities-despite-expectations-of-mass-ai-layoffs&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gartner.com\/en\/newsroom\/press-releases\/2026-04-28-gartner-survey-finds-eighty-five-percent-of-service-and-support-leaders-are-expanding-human-agent-responsibilities-despite-expectations-of-mass-ai-layoffs\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">31 percent said<\/a> they have already reduced or are planning to reduce headcount due to AI adoption. A majority of the surveyed leaders say they are shifting their human agents into new roles or adding new tasks to their workload rather than simply laying them off.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Some leaders have been more brazen, though. Verizon CEO Dan Schulman <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2026-06-04\/verizon-ceo-sees-ai-replacing-large-share-of-customer-service?\" class=\"external-link text link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2026-06-04\/verizon-ceo-sees-ai-replacing-large-share-of-customer-service?&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2026-06-04\/verizon-ceo-sees-ai-replacing-large-share-of-customer-service?\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">recently told Bloomberg<\/a> that AI will likely replace a \u201clarge percentage\u201d of the company\u2019s customer service work, noting that it\u2019s one of the business sectors most exposed to changes brought on by the technology.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">For consumers like myself, this has led to a less human, more acute version of the demoralizing wait times, on-hold music, and non-answers that have characterized bad customer service for decades. What\u2019s more, these systems are sometimes employed intentionally, via an industry tactic known as \u201c<a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/ideas\/archive\/2025\/06\/customer-service-sludge\/683340\/\" class=\"external-link text link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/ideas\/archive\/2025\/06\/customer-service-sludge\/683340\/&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/ideas\/archive\/2025\/06\/customer-service-sludge\/683340\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">sludge<\/a>,\u201d in an attempt to discourage customers seeking resolution.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">As Ryan Hamilton, a marketing professor and consumer psychology researcher at Emory University, points out, AI has simply given sludge a new face.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">\u201cSludge existed before AI,\u201d Hamilton says. \u201cBut AI, like with everything else, has just sort of ramped up the dystopian nature of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Whether it\u2019s due to organically bad experiences, intentional sludge, or some combination of both, it\u2019s clear that shoppers are not happy with the state of AI-led customer service. In a report published in May and featuring consumers from the US, UK, and Canada, 59 percent said they were <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/finance.yahoo.com\/news\/ai-backlash-grows-across-us-141500259.html\" class=\"external-link text link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/finance.yahoo.com\/news\/ai-backlash-grows-across-us-141500259.html&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/finance.yahoo.com\/news\/ai-backlash-grows-across-us-141500259.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">frustrated with AI customer service agents<\/a>. Meanwhile, 85 percent said they\u2019d prefer to speak with a real person.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall\">My Personal Chatbot Hell<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall\">When my ebike went missing, nearly every phone call led me to a chatbot, with FedEx\u2019s AI agents often ignoring my requests to speak with a human representative.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Even my local police department made the dilemma more inhuman. When I called them to file a missing property report, I was prompted to leave my information with a chatbot and wait for an officer to contact me back.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/ebike-delivery-missing-when-i-tried-to-recover-it-i-ended-up-in-chatbot-hell\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A few months ago, my fianc\u00e9e and I splurged on a pair of ebikes.
