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.
Keep in mind that the service lines also deal with customers who can’t distinguish a CPU from a modem from a monitor. Hence the basic troubleshooting in the beginning.
Yeah, I know they have to follow their script, so I just play along. And honestly, it’s not as if I’ve never made a stupid mistake before, like accidentally leaving something unplugged.
