    I’ve worked in this field for 25 years and don’t think that ChatGPT by itself can handle most workloads, even if it’s trained on them.

    There are usually transactions which must be done and often ad hoc tasks which end up being the most important things because when things break, you aren’t trained for them.

    If you don’t have a feedback loop to solve those issues, your whole business may just break without you knowing.

      I think you’re talking about actual support, that knows their tools and can do things.

      This article sound more about the generic outsourced call center that will never, ever get something useful done in any case.

      I ordered Chipotle for delivery and I got the wrong order. I don’t eat meat so it’s not like I could just say whelp, I’m eating this chicken today I guess.

      The only way to report an issue is to chat with their bot. And it is hell. I finally got a voucher for a free entree but what about the delivery fee and the tip back? Impossible.

      I felt like Sisyphus.

      I waited for the transaction to post and disputed the charge on my card and it credited me back.

      There’s so many if-and-or-else scenarios that no amount of scraping the world’s libraries is AI today able to sort out these scenarios.

        Yes these kind of transactions really need to be hand coded to be handled well. LLM’s are very poorly suited to this kind of thing (though I doubt you were dealing with an LLM at Chipotle just yet).

      Maybe you work at a decent place but in my experience you’re really overestimating the people who answer calls and give generic responses.
