Föderation EN So 16.03.2025 16:25:07 @BoydStephenSmithJr I guess because I hate calling, Iβve already exhausted the alternatives in my search for an answer. I donβt doubt that many are just too lazy to look though. π |
Föderation EN So 16.03.2025 16:35:20 @CAWguy I also appreciate any FAQs or troubleshooting guides, or anything else I can follow to try to solve me problem at my own pace. Also, I will say, that when you've been supporting a thing for months, you get much more familiar with the FAQ-like resources that are available, and can more easily match the caller's scenario with the information they need. So, sometimes support *looks* like "reading the FAQ" but is more subtle. I know from being that caller, too. I thought I searched the FAQs, but support was able translate to different jargon and then point me at the well-documented steps to resolve my issue. It *seems* like LLMs _could_ handle that sort of customer-problem to FAQ-answer translation/mapping, but certainly a "stock" one probably wouldn't, no more than a support tech on their first (training?) day. |
Föderation EN So 16.03.2025 18:32:27 @BoydStephenSmithJr @CAWguy I've spent time in a call center as well. Sometimes a caller just needs a human to acknowledge and understand their frustration, and empathize a little bit. It's not in the script. That's where chatbots (and frequently overseas contractors up against a language barrier) are out of their depth. They can't tell when someone is about to hurl the phone at the wall. |
