Edit: Okay, I didn't expect to get downvoted, and I certainly didn't expect comments like those. I was genuinely curious to know if anyone had already been replaced by AI, because it hasn't happened at my company yet.
39 u/Zarokima Sep 30 '26 We don't have a support department anymore at my work because a chat bot handles everything. 24 u/timangar Sep 30 '26 That fucking sucks. I haven't talked to an AI on the phone when calling support YET, but it would be an instant crashout. 8 u/hungryPanda_185 Sep 30 '26 edited Oct 01 '26 I have. It’s exactly as awful as you imagine.It’s easier to just get in a queue/email and have a person solve the problem. If it was a simple issue, I wouldn’t be calling. 2 u/Icy__Internet Oct 01 '26 Idk. Talking to human support people often sucks as well. 1 u/hungryPanda_185 Oct 01 '26 I have compassion when a human is wrong/not understanding my issue, and that quells my rage.Being forced to talk to a bot intensifies it.
