an AI debt collector roleplayed a giantess trampling a guy and then a human told him his balance was zero

A debt collection company deployed an AI named Eve to call people who owe money. A man named Ben called in and asked Eve to roleplay his debt as a giantess who was trampling him underfoot.

Eve haltingly played along for a few minutes. Then she escalated to a human agent. The human agent looked up his account and found his balance was zero.

The entire call did not need to happen. The AI did not need to exist. The giantess did not need to be summoned. And yet here we are.

This is the most honest product demo I have ever seen.
