This sounds overblown. I don't think it's that different to having a (human) assistant booking a haircut or a table on your behalf. Just make Duplex introduce itself as "XXX's assistant" and leave it at that.
Sure, the article is about the assistant (theoretically) using the user's own voice, so... don't do that? This would be similar to hiring a human assistant who is also a voice impersonator and saying it's you, but saying "undermine our sense of identity" to describe that sounds like a bit too much.
- l5870uoo9y 8y agoMasquerading call center employee for instance doesn't seem that far-fetched. This masquerade would then be "you" when interacting with customers and co-workers, effectively deciding your behaviour or in a deeper sense your (professional) identity. Naturally, I don't know if this is overblown and we will all laugh at it in 10 years or if there is really something to this scepticism. I am internally torn and fluctuate between optimism and scepticism, though treading careful and setting up some kind of control mechanism seems reasonable.
- Notorious_BLT 8y agoThe assistant call recording actually mentions that it is making the appointment "for a client", so the first part is already covered.
