Argument: A company switched its customer service from human agents to an automated AI system. One month later, the average resolution time per ticket decreased by 30%. The company concluded that the AI system is more efficient at resolving customer issues than human agents were.

Which of the following is an assumption required by the argument?

  1. After the transition to the AI system was complete, overall customer satisfaction ratings either held steady or actually improved somewhat.
  2. On average, the human agents who were replaced had built up noticeably more years of customer-service experience than the broader industry norm.
  3. The newly deployed AI system is technically able to handle a virtually unlimited number of customer tickets at the very same time.
  4. The complexity of the customer issues received during the month after the switch was not significantly lower than in previous months.
  5. For routine and simple issues, most customers say they prefer using an automated system over speaking with a human agent.
