I have exactly the same thing going on - no update at all from Maersk or USPS since 4/25. I'm supposed to receive mine Thursday. We'll see what happens.

My brother’s going to Michigan now has USPS tracking, so there’s hope. His was also shipped via Maersk.

Since AI is trained by Humans, is it surprising that it doesn’t respond to customer service requests?

I'll tell you what I've learned about AI. It's awesome for creative stuff--I asked Grok to write a judicial opinion overturning the verdict in The Trial from Side 4 of The Wall, using 80's pop hits as precedent, and its response floored me. I thought it was awesome.
But as a research tool, you have to double-check its results, because they're frequently wrong. Just as one example, when I asked it to calculate the total tariff for the tricorder's HTS code, it was correct except for the Section 301 tariff, which it mistakenly told me was on List 3 at 25%. Checking the Section 301 database, I found it's actually on List 4, at 0%. I could give you other examples. Sabine Hossenfelder, a German physicist who does YT videos, has said she frequently gets scientific paper citations from every AI that simply don't exist. AI's literally make up quotes and citations. She said this happens all the time.
So AI, as it is right now, is hardly the game-changing technology it's purported to be. Don't use it to summarize research without double-checking its findings with original sources.

So, just like Humans who want to appear intellectual, it makes stuff up…
AI definitely lies. They call it an hallucination, but in reality it will just make stuff up.
I remember a story, from many moons ago, about a lawyer using AI and getting his butt handed to him by a judge, when all the citations were garbage.
This could be it:
Lawyers submitted bogus case law created by ChatGPT. A judge fined them $5,000
A federal judge has imposed $5,000 fines on a group of lawyers after ChatGPT was blamed for their submission of fictitious legal research to support an aviation injury claim.

There are definitely other examples out there.

That's also an ethical violation. Attorneys have an ethical duty of diligence, which would certainly include double-checking your citations at a bare minimum. I don't know what the typical state bar would do about it, given that they only seem to disbar attorneys who skim their client trust accounts, but it's definitely against the rules.
Saul Goodman would have loved AILooks like this thread took a left turn at Albuquerque .

OK, if we must get back on topic, I just set a recurring six-month reminder in my calendar app to recharge my Wand props, starting this Thursday, when my tricorder is due to arrive. If it gets kicked back instead, I will of course petulantly never recharge my Wand props again, because I'm a big fat baby with no sense of proportion.

I checked the tracking first thing and was disappointed to see that it doesn't show "out for delivery" today (though it still says estimated delivery by 8PM). I managed to look a little deeper into the Asendio tracking page and it actually shows the package's progress through the system and that it is currently inbound to the Denver distribution center (it has arrived there but hasn't been scanned through yet). So, if things go smoothly, it looks like it will be here tomorrow
Until then I attempt to console myself with the thought that “Having is not so pleasing a thing, after all, as wanting. It is not logical but often true.”
