I wrote an article about AI and the future of the customer support industry. Would love to hear your thoughts 💭 open.substack.com/pub/ninethirty…

Will AI kill the customer support industry?
Is AI on the brink of obliterating the customer support industry? Klarna's latest news shows it replaced about 700 jobs. One may wonder, rightfully, what the future of this industry is.

I just wonder where those people from the reduction would go... it's sad.

It's a reasonable assumption! and yes, there is a chance for job cuts within this first tier, unfortunately. In some cases, companies will just freeze hiring as they scale. Same can apply to designers. If 1 designer can do the job of 3 with AI, why hire 3?

It's a harsh statement, but it's also the most realistic one if you're not trying to explore too many different things at once...
