It's true! I was skeptical so I just called it and got a human after 1 button push and a 10 second wait.

Passed the Turing test, I'll be damned.

OMG, the next step is self-awareness!

Are you certain it was a human? Did you see the speech recognition keynote today? ;-)

Well, that's a good answer. I feel like this is something one can't do for 99% of other google products although I haven't tried it. Is this as rare as I think it is?

You realize that Google does not have the best reputation when it comes to talking to a real human being? Personally, I hope this is where that begins to change.

Nice. Can you send me $1 so I can be accelerated into the beta? :-)

They can get help from a human.

But Google will not issue chargebacks for payments made via "send money with GMail".

So what's the fraud control process? In the above mentioned case, is the official advice just "be careful before you push the button"?
