      The problem is when you’re part of the 20% who has an issue that isn’t solved by the basic help steps. It’s so damn frustrating to tell an AI multiple times that you need isn’t covered by the basic steps

      I’m pretty sure the models are trained primarily by the help docs, rather than previous support incidents, which would explain the extreme insistence on performing basic support steps repeatedly
