Kind of. As long as you understand that people like me exist.

I ordered a big mac from McDonalds one time. I got a chicken sandwich instead.

I was sitting inside. I could easily have went back to the counter and said something.

Instead, I just went with it. Guess I'm having a chicken sandwich today!

Now, that being said, I also don't use AI. So, I would have never noticed it being down. But hypothetically, if I tried to use AI, and it didn't work, I'd just do something else instead.

So it won't be the number of complaints = the number of users affected. But it does give you somewhat of a scale.
