What if you literally can't talk like stephen hawking? Or have crippling social anxiety? Or you don't speak the local language very well? Is it still "unethical" for those scenarios?
- lucb1e 8y agoIntonation is not the only way of showing emotion. (Regardless of whether I agree with it being unethical, a robot voice != a talking robot.)
- bertil 8y agoWhat if, as the demonstration showed, English is not your first language and you struggle on the phone? What about foreigners on holiday, could their ask for a reservation in one language to Google Assistant and have it handled properly?
- chappi42 8y agoIt wouldn't be "unethical" if it is plain that there is a machine involved. Google could e.g. say something like 'hi, google assistant here' and clarify the situation (and give a human person the choice to proceed). What do you think?
