    This is obviously funny, but I think the end result will be a bit sad. Spammers will (or already are) start to use similar AI programs to cold call people, then transfer to the scammer if they’ve got a live one. Eventually we’re just going to be heating the Earth so that invisible chatbots can have conversations no human will ever hear.

      I’m just going to start not answering the phone unless it’s a number in my contacts. If it’s important they can leave me a message.

        The scammers can spoof any number, including one of your contacts.

        Or vice versa. It will be a cold war of ai’s creating unheard conversations and shitting out CO2, all backed by mutually opposing multi billion dollar industries.
