How do I talk to a person instead of an AI robot!

@XfinityEva​  this is not useful, I want to chat to a person not the useless AI [Edited: All Caps]

Thank you for reaching out to us @user_spczbg! Here on the forums, you are directly connected to Comcast’s Corporate Digital and Social Media care team. We’d love to help! Could you please create a new post describing your reason for reaching out?

Why doesn't Xfinity use "predictive texting" capability when we are forced to communicate with the Xfinity assistant on a smartphone? I can never text as clearly as I can when using other messenger systems.  It's bad enough that we are trying to communicate with a non-native English speaker while producing terrible texting. This always results from what seems to be an absurd oversight in your application. You want us to submit to never being allowed to actually speak to a human being? Then at least up your game by providing a better interface than you have now.

And while you are at it, tone down the obsequious phrases we Americans dislike so much. It seems your agents are simply applying predefined ubiquitous filler language that sounds automated and absurd.  This is not at all convincing of their capabilities, intentions, or especially results.

@XfinityEva​ 

I have to same issue, chat bot is useless.  I am logged in, but there is no chat bubble or direct message option in the upper right.

Edit: Bubble showed up after posting, but when I click it, it just spins without finishing loading.  No option to send a new message.

The website and the support features are the biggest joke hoisted on the Internet in history. [Edited: "Inflammatory"]. It's unreal.
