Honestly it's not that much worse than being forwarded off to India where someone's getting paid $0.10 an hour to read off a flow chart to me. If your 24-hour service line doesn't have an actual engineer available after the flow chart It's not meaningfully different than the AI.

Yep. I hate having to phone support lines to be told to run basic troubleshooting like turning something off and on again when that's the first thing that I'll try.

The alt text on that XKCD is even better:

"I recently had someone ask me to go get a computer and turn it on so I could restart it. He refused to move further in the script until I said I had done that."
