    Wouldn’t any automated system ideally escalate to the next tier of (human) support when it detects something complicated?

    Though I agree with you, I don’t think LLMs are lay-off 90% good.

      In my experience, this never happens. Since they have now very few human staff they make it VERY difficult to talk to a human to the point you often give up.

      Why escalate when you can hallucinate!
