Honestly, that's pretty similar to dealing with front-line level 1 human support.

I have a slightly higher expectation that first-line tech support can solve my problem if the problem is "you really should have had a self-service way to do this on your website but I'm sure you have a tool for this".
And if that isn't the case, I've mostly found that contrary to stereotype, many first-line tech support people are not such rote script-followers that they can't deal with skipping most of the script when the problem is obviously on their end and going to need real human intervention.
If I'm trying to interact with a company and they direct me to a chatbot, I expect to get useful help 0% of the time, because if help was available via a mechanism on their site I would already have found it. I expect a chatbot to stall me as long as possible before either conceding that I need a human's assistance or telling me some further hoop to jump through to reach a real human.
