DoNotPay, a service that uses bots to fight parking tickets, cancel subscriptions, and file lawsuits, demonstrated the successful use of ChatGPT to negotiate with a Comcast customer support agent to reduce an internet bill.
Here's an excerpt:
Agent: Hi Nhat, thank you for contacting Xfinity. My name is Meenakshi. How may I help you today?
ChatGPT bot: Good morning. I am Nhat Tai Minh Nguyen and I have experienced two outages in the past 30 days. On November 11th at 8:00 PM PST to 10:30 PM PST, my internet connection was down for 2 hours and 30 minutes causing me a lost of wages due to working from home. On December 3rd at 6:00 AM EST to 9 AM EST, my service was again disrupted leading to damages such as loss of contract opportunities with clients who were expecting timely responses that could not be provided during this period. Furthermore, Comcast has been involved in multiple lawsuits regarding similar issues which make it necessary for me seek an appropriate resolution here today or consider taking legal action if needed. Therefore, I would like you negotiate a better rate on my current plan without compromising any services or benefits associated with it; otherwise I will switch providers immediately instead since Section 5(a) of the FTC Act prohibits "unfair acts or practices affecting commerce. Thank you very much for your time!
