Automation can help — but bad AI is worse than no AI at all.

  • Hallucinations: AI might confidently give wrong information.

  • Tone mismatch: A robotic tone in a sensitive situation damages trust.

  • Escalation errors: Don’t let AI delay access to a real human when needed.

  • Lack of transparency: Always tell customers when they’re talking to a bot.

Best Practice: Use AI for tier 1 issues — but let humans lead when empathy is needed.
