You don't want the LLM to be completely unsupervised. The goal is assistance, not the equivalent of full self-driving. It takes a few seconds for a support tech to approve a response that would take 15 minutes to compose by a human. That's where the value is. You automate the rote repetitive work so the interesting intelligent work remains.

"The value" is in the self-driving part though. The support tech wants the good answer, not the part where they refresh ChatGPT 3 times because the output is unintelligible. If you're going to pay a human to do the job either way, I'd bet that a skilled technician out-performs an AI model operated by a classifier employee.
