And yet I couldn't recover an account I've used for decades. Maybe I should try the AI support bot.

What if everyone ran an AI support bot and we all helped eachother recover everyone's account every day 🥹

I think it was meta's support bot just handing access out like candy. Not the hackers running a bot.

Yeah, the real support is the hackers. They’ll get you in quite easily.

That's not hacking. That is an engineering failure.
