You mean the answer betrays the point: customer service is surprisingly hard, we just have a large number of people that are capable of doing it.

This is what the whole https://people.csail.mit.edu/brooks/papers/elephants.pdf is about.

And that's why you aren't qualified for a customer service role but might be for something that current AI is competitive with.
