Those already exist.
Can they steer the conversation with the goal of wasting as much time as possible
Yes, and they can even play different characters with their own personalities to keep things seeming normal for longer
Google has a call screening functionality on phones already
All stock pixels have this and I also heard that samsungs also have it too. Also, I think Apple will have it in the next update.
The stock Pixel phone app has this. If you don’t use the stock phone app, you can’t use this feature.
Samsung does not have this
I use it and it’s called Bixby. Thought most spam callers don’t make it after the first phrases.
It does, Bixby can answer a call, ask what this is about and transcribe it for the owner so he can the decide if he wants to anwser
Some of those spam fighters did this, emulating an old bumbling man who avoided any “yes” like answers that could be malinterpreted as consent to anything, and kept the caller busy for many minutes with pauses, uncommitted “Hmms”, and useless questions. But I doubt that this program is available anywhere.
That sounds like Lenny and it’s awesome.
Jolly Roger Telephone Co has some great ones too.

Man, the code in that project is really something else. Looks like something hacked together in a weekend
I think I’m going to fork it and make it… not that.
This will be how everybody communicates at work in the future. You tell what you want to say to an AI. It will send a five paragraph polite mail to your coworker. The coworker doesn’t read the mail, but has his AI put a summary in his inbox.
So instead of just telling each other what we want to say, it’s wrapped in layers of bullshit. Which serves no purpose because nobody reads them anyways.
AI powered brain-chips is a concept that terrifies me but also fascinates me because it would avoid this kind of useless bullshit.
Imagine having a very advanced AI in your brain that knows you really well (because well, it’s in your brain). You could have concepts and information explained in the most effective way for you, or (and this really is scary) directly written in your brain so that you suddenly just know something. Your colleagues would just have to think the information that you need to receive, and then their chip and your chip would communicate so that the message gets “translated” to your own “thought language”.
I think that’s the future we will face if we don’t wipe ourselves out of existence first. The “cool” thing is it would be an actual evolutionary leap that would make us something we can’t really grasp at the moment.
The scary thing is it would of course be a shit sold by corporations to transmit ads directly to your brain or some shit
That would be abused so heavily and eventually lead to nefarious evildoers able to literally brainwash everyone else into serving them.
The TLDRverse. I would like one Twilight Zone episode of this please.

So…just like now but with less personal bullshit. Office AI sanitized bullshit.

Dead telephone theory
I want to make an app that automatically rickrolls the spam
Haha, isn’t that most of the internet already? But really, you have to wonder with AI powering so many things, it really could end up that way. Some people could do their whole job with a phone bot, kind of like that Multiplicity movie from 1996.
I would subscribe and pay monthly for such service.
