voice-prompt hell

the frustration experienced when dialling a large organization to speak to a real person about a specific query that isn't covered by the maze of multiple automated options, and / or the voice recognition system can't understand you

I just spent at least 10 minutes in voice-prompt hell trying to speak to someone about my traffic fine, only to discover at the end there's an option to press zero to speak to a real person

prompt blaming

When you blame the prompter for an AI's response.

"The AI put the lungs in the skull in the anatomy drawing and now they're prompt blaming me instead of realizing the model's limitations!"
