A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I feel like customer support is one place where AI may actually be used going forward because companies don't really care if their customers get support. The only wrinkle is that if companies get held to promises the AI makes (there's that Canada Air incident from last year where the AI offered a refund and the company tried to walk it back).
I've had this discussion come up in meetings recently.
CustomGPT is like $500/month for 5000 queries.... that limitation and price (if you have a reasonable amount of customers), kind of just means you are better off hiring one employee. I'm not going to ping them for pricing for their enterprise plan beyond that, as going to cost an employee anyways.
