I've only recently heard of Lenny (late to the party), but think some of the videos I've heard are hilarious.
I know "he's" been around for a while, and runs on a purely manual random delay system, but I wonder if Lenny could be updated with modern technology, to do a bit of rudimentary voice recognition for better interaction with the scam caller?
I know that his existing script is very cleverly generic and timed to work in with most telemarketing scripts, but I think if it was improved just a bit more, we could end up with quite a convincing respondee that would burn up more scammer time, and hopefully make a small dent in the enthusiasm of these con artists...

- geon 10y agoI believe it (or some other bot) detects silence on the other end of the line to trigger playing samples. So it can insert "u-huh" whenever the salesman is done talking.
