"I need to let you know that we are unable to issue compensation for degraded service or technical errors that result in incorrect billing routing."

Not sure I've ever seen a company openly take this position. This is a crazy policy.

More likely its just an LLM hallucination, not a real policy that Anthropic has. Unfortunately for them, it's a bad look to showcase one of the main failure modes of their product in their own business process.

  • If they've let their AI write the policy, and then they repeat that as policy, how exactly is this an "LLM hallucination" and not a real policy?

    • It's both, isn't it? If the AI writes the policy and is also responsible for enforcing it (by handling tickets and acting as a gatekeeper for which issues are escalated to humans who can do something about them), then the hallucination becomes real.

    • It's the same thing. Whether it was hallucinated upstream or in situ, the point is that it's not a real policy that the business adheres to, just something the LLM spat out.

More and more I feel that the one thing Github needs to turn the tide of bad press, is to allow adding clown or turd reaction emoji on comments

In many countries, this also isn't legally tenable.
