I have success reaching a human via automated telephone systems by saying the word, "operator." Last week, I encountered one that responded to the word, "representative." I can only think of one instance that I couldn't deliberately summon a human in quite some time.
I am interested to knows if there are non-profane keywords that are programmed into text-based systems. I would assume that using profanity trips a flag that indicates that the user is hostile. This might cause a human rep to enter the chat with their guard up, less inclined to want to help the user than if the request was delivered in a neutral tone.
