> why not just talk to an AI NOW until a human can come online?
There is no difference between talking to an AI and getting nothing accomplished and just waiting on hold and getting nothing accomplished.

None of that requires "aRtIfIcIaL iNtElLiGeNcE".
In fact, those tasks been accomplished for quite some time without it.
Back in the mid-'00s when Verizon was rolling out FIOS they MAC-locked their DHCP to their routers so when deploying my own router, I had to punch my way through a bot suggesting that I "turn it off and on again" and "clear my browser cache" while waiting on the phone to say the magic words to a human.
Now an AI does it even worse (though Verizon fixed their DHCP handling). The dumbest aspect of the AI bots is when they do the fake "typing" indicator instead of just spitting out their useless drivel as fast as I can read it, that's a +1 for the old-skool tree-based bots.
