I think the difference there is that a warranty email isn't aimed at a person, but a company - which, I think cstross has pointed out, was humanity's first AI.

Last time I returned anything to amazon it was a two-minute-or-less task that didn't involve anything like a warranty service request email?

I buy sous vide cookers that die in about 3 months (all brands I've found do when run 24x7). That's outside of the normal return window and requires a warranty claim to get a replacement. For that you go through the maker, not Amazon. This basically doubles the useful life of the purchase, but I'd rather find one that lasts.

I mean, yeah, I consider myself a decent writer, but I don't think that skill was best or more meaningfully expressed in writing Jira tickets so I'm pretty happy to outsource that.
On a good day it's a 240 volt hair clipper for grooming yaks.
