    If they ever get this perfected, the next step would be to deal with the inevitable “you actually have the wrong department. Please hold while I transfer you to some other asshole”.

      Then they’ll kill it like they do everything else. I won’t be using this or testing it because I have zero trust it’ll even exist next month.

        I’ve been using it for months. I don’t expect it’ll be free forever, but I’m using it while it’s around. Not using it is like not watching a movie because it won’t be streaming on Netflix forever. Enjoy it while it’s here. Of course, if you didn’t want to support Google, that’s a different story altogether and I would support that.
