Haha, imagine trying to use customer support for a product that you pay for. Honestly I'd probably ask Stack Overflow before calling in.

It's very clear that they're assisting multiple people. It would be an incredible waste otherwise, but unfortunately these agencies likely stretch their support agents far too thin.

I honestly can't imagine not using vim. It fits like a glove. Sometimes I find myself typing ;wq to try and send messages.

The style can be influenced, however. It isn't unreasonable to suggest an AI that fine tunes the style of the LLM output to meet whatever metric you're after.

As far as creativity goes, human creativity is also a product of life experiences. Artistic styles are always influenced by others, etc.
