Are companies overdoing AI support?

Reddit r/AI_Agents News

Summary

The article questions whether companies are overusing AI in customer support and argues for a balanced approach where AI handles repetitive tasks while humans address complex issues.

I feel like every company wants an AI agent handling support now, I get it for basic stuff but I wonder where the line is, if a customer has a messy issue or is already pissed off then forcing them through AI I think it can make things worse. I think the better setup is letting AI handle repetitive requests and handing off to a human when things get complicated. For anyone working in support or contact centers has your company found that balance for this or are we automating stuff just because we can?
