How it feels to battle with a flood of AI-generated complaints
The Guardian prints readers' letters responding to its 8 November article on chatbot-generated complaints overwhelming UK public bodies. A housing association complaint investigator says the job has changed within months, with hundreds of pages of wordy complaints that complainants often cannot explain when asked.
