AI Fatigue Is Real — Why We Chose Real People Over Bots

Troy Construction DesignCustomer Service

Over the past few years, artificial intelligence has rapidly made its way into customer service. Automated phone systems, AI chatbots, and voice assistants are now everywhere.

And while AI can be helpful in some situations, many people are starting to feel something else entirely: AI fatigue.

AI fatigue is what happens when customers are forced to talk to bots instead of people — repeating themselves, pressing buttons, navigating menus, or wondering whether anyone is actually listening on the other end.

We've heard this frustration directly from customers.

We Tried AI — And Customers Didn't Like It

Like many companies, we tested AI-based phone answering and automated chat systems. On paper, they promised efficiency and 24/7 coverage.

In reality, the feedback was consistent:

  • People wanted to talk to a real person
  • Customers felt rushed or misunderstood by bots
  • Important details were missed
  • Conversations felt transactional instead of human

For construction projects — especially remodels, rebuilds, and commercial work — trust and clarity matter. AI simply couldn't replace that.

AI Fatigue Is About Trust, Not Technology

This isn't about being anti-technology. We use modern tools throughout our business.

But when it comes to first contact — phone calls, texts, and website chats — people want reassurance. They want to know someone is actually listening, understands the situation, and can respond intelligently.

That's where AI fatigue shows up most clearly.

People aren't tired of innovation.

They're tired of talking to machines when they need help.

Why We Chose Live People — On Purpose

Based on customer feedback, we made a deliberate decision:

Live people answer our phones

Live people respond to website chat

Live people reply to texts

No phone trees.

No bots pretending to be human.

No endless prompts.

Just real conversations with real people.

You Can Call, Chat, or Text — It's All Human

Whether you reach us by phone, website chat, or text message, you're communicating with a real person who can actually help you.

Many of our customers tell us this is exactly why they chose to work with us.

In an age of AI fatigue, sometimes the most modern choice is simply being human.

If you prefer texting instead of calling, you can text us directly from our website or from your phone. A real person responds quickly.
