That is not a good production model.

But pretty main-stream: my phone company not only has automated
screeners on both its help line and its chat sessions, both of which
are very good at not paying any attention at all to any problem they
were not programmed to recognize, but the phone system, the last time
I tried it, actually offered me the abilitiy to /text/ an assistor,
but not to /speak/ with one.

They have flooded the moat. They have released the piranha and the
crocodiles. The have drawn up the drawbridge. They are unassailable.
They have no customer complaints other than those they have thought of
themselves.

They can also be dispensed with any time they manage to do something
they /did/ not anticipate which is serious enough.
