I want a fucking human who can quickly help me solve my issue. I don't want to spend hours looking through "could be" problems. If you manufactured the software then your engineers understand it... Your end users only know how to use it the way they need to use it not all the options and variables.

How about a bot that types slowly, so it can have time to consider what it's going to say? Or perhaps a web page with an "Analyzing issue" status bar that takes several minutes to complete, because computers just do better if they're given time to work on a problem?
