    Within companies, I see it as a way to make complex things more accessible to those unfamiliar with them… with a huge risk of breaking the learning process, resulting in a lack of expertise down the road.

    That wouldn’t necessarily be a problem if it were really capable of accuracy and improving itself, but right now it’s like we are driving increasingly fast toward a half-built bridge, hoping it will be built before we get there. I have my doubts.

    For some things like first line support - there is huge potential, although it’s usually fucked up. First line support is a job where the brain turns off, scripts are followed, and there is little to no compassion with the customer/user, and language/accents are a significant challenge. Let’s replace first line support with a few good experienced support people who actively work to improve the system. Give them the tools to make 100x or 1000x the impact, with customer satisfaction as the goal.
