When you email issues to Obsidian Entertainment (the video game company) their AI support hallucinates and tells you to email Obsidian (the note-taking company) instead. If the reward function is to reduce the number of touches in a support ticket, this is one way to do it.

There was an oversight by a member of our support team where an attachment from the reporting player was unfortunately missed. We are sincerely sorry for the mix-up and for the message that reached the Obsidian inbox as a result. Totally our bad and working to make sure it doesn’t happen again. 🙏

at that point you're practically compelled to reply unprofessionally to any support requests coming your way so they reviewbomb obsidian entertainment just make sure to add lots of legit obsidian entertainment links so you don't get blowback

That's genuinely just how bad most AI support is. I spend far too large a part of my work time telling the AI "no don't say that". I have to correct it from stupid things like telling someone to contact support in response to them contacting support to insideous like outright illegal info. It's bad.
