Apologies - something very clearly went wrong here. We’ve already begun investigating, and some very early results:

* Any AI responses used for email support are now clearly labeled as such. We use AI-assisted responses as the first filter for email support.

* We’ve made sure this user is completely refunded - least we can do for the trouble.

For context, this user’s complaint was the result of a race condition that appears on very slow internet connections. The race leads to a bunch of unneeded sessions being created which crowds out the real sessions. We’ve rolled out a fix.

Appreciate all the feedback. Will help improve the experience for future users.

Don't use AI. Actually care. Like, take a step back, and realise you should give a shit about support for a paid product.

Don't get me wrong: AI is a very effective tool, *for doing things you don't care about*. I had to do a random docker compose change the the other day. It's not production code, it will be very obvious whether or not AI output works, and I very rarely touch docker and don't care to become a super expert in it. So I prompted the change, and it was good enough and so I ran with it.

You using AI for support tells me that you don't care about support. Which tells me whether or not I should be your customer.

I agree with this. Also, whenever I care about code, I don’t use AI. So I very rarely use AI assistants for coding.

I guess this is why Cursor is interested in making AI assistants popular everywhere, they don’t want the association that “AI assisted” means careless. Even when it does, at least with today’s level of AI.
