# Paddle Support: The AI Wall is Real > Source: > Published: 2026-07-24 04:19:39+00:00 # Paddle Support: The AI Wall is Real The current "process" is a nightmare: you send a support email, get an automated AI response, and are told to reply to that email to reach a person. Except, the loop is broken. No matter how many times we reply, a human never enters the chat. It feels like some PM is taking a victory lap because their support ticket backlog has vanished, while the actual customers are just shouting into a void. This isn't just a minor annoyance for us—they've misrouted our payouts. When it comes to money, "AI-powered efficiency" is a poor substitute for a real person who can actually fix a ledger. If anyone here has a direct contact or an alternative email beyond that actually reaches a human, I'd appreciate the lead. It's a frustrating reminder that replacing a support team with an LLM agent without a functioning escalation path is a recipe for disaster.[[email protected]](/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection) [Next PostgreSQL COMMENT ON: A Practical Guide for AI Agents →](/en/threads/2713/)
