Can We Trust AI as Customer Support?

1 points by adipm_tech ↗ HN
I’m curious how founders, engineers, and support folks here think about this.

A lot of customer service is moving toward AI agents—handling FAQs, troubleshooting flows, and sometimes even resolving tickets end-to-end.

But can we fully trust AI to act as front-line customer support?

If yes, what convinced you? If no, what are the biggest blockers—accuracy, edge cases, empathy, accountability?

Would love to hear real experiences from teams that have tried replacing (or augmenting) human support.

A few months ago, the AI of an air company offer a discount to a client, but the discount was not real, it was just an hallucination. Anyway, the airline has to honor it.
