      This really is a fucking clown show.

      I assume what’s happening here is that they have a bot that will reply a few canned response vaguely related to what you’ve said in the one message.

      I don’t suppose there is a way to actually reach a human? This shit should really be illegal.

        Doesn’t have to be a bot, it could also be an underpaid employee of some outsourced callcenter working with templates. It’s a clown show either way.

          Yeah, not sure if its badly configured AI, or an employee not getting paid enough to care.

          I wonder if their staff have a ticket quota system that lacks oversight of whether or not the ticket’s support needs were actually addressed before it was closed?

            Clearly some predefined templates involved.

            And most likely a underpaid and overworked employee living in the basement of his mother’s house, working 10 hours 7 days per week.
