Customer consistently asking for changes outside of scope then questioning price. Clearly using ChatGPT to generate feedback on work we’ve done, then emailing the feedback over without checking accuracy of gpt’s output. Total time waster

A weekend's worth of increasingly furious voicemails demanding an urgent response to a distinctly non-urgent query, despite office hours being stated clearly on every page of the website.
