In Canada, it might work. There was a court case where an airline had to honour its chatbot.
That one wasn't the customer feeding it exactly what to say, though, it was the customer asking how to get a discounted price honored, what steps they would need to take, and they followed the chat bot's instruction... A customer using a company's bot in good faith to understand how a process works (one of the things it was supposedly meant for) is not the same as one blatantly abusing the bot's design to get money for nothing.
I just wanted to use the bot in good faith (me having more money is good) to understand how a process works (the process of me receiving money) :3
your honor, my client is just a silly little guy and deserves a treat.
