I don't want AI customer support. I want open documentation so I can ask AI if I want or ask human support if it's not resolvable with available documentation

All my interactions with any AI support so far is repeatedly saying "call human" until it calls human

This is such a HN comment lol.

Customer support is when all the documentation already failed and you need a human.

I'll put in a good word for a chatbot hooked up to the documentation (e.g. at $dayjob we use Intercom Fin) acting as level 0.5 support.

At $dayjob our customers are nontechnical so they don't always know what to search for, so the LLM/RAG approach can be quite handy.

It answers about 2/3 of incoming questions, can escalate to the humans as needed, and scales great.
