I wonder if this will end as poorly as that eating disorder hotline that did the same thing.

At least this is less likely to hurt or kill people.

It’s already been reversed because of how badly it did.

And of course they fired the workers after they voted to unionize, what else we would expect?

They didn’t reverse it in the sense that they went back to human operators. They got rid of the AI by getting rid of the service altogether by the looks of things.
