Uber Support’s ‘Potato’ Test Reply Sparks Internet Reactions

A customer wanted to know if a real person was answering Uber Support messages.

They asked Uber Support to say “potato” if at least one worker was human.

Uber Support did not say “potato.”

Instead, it sent a formal message about being unable to give a refund.

The customer thought the message sounded like it was written by a computer.

Many people online joked about the reply and compared it to living in “the Matrix.”

KFC joined the conversation by replying “potato.”

The post received more than 4.1 million views, but the claims were not independently verified.
