- hedora 8y agoThere are services that let you forward telemarketers to AI’s. Totally worth it.
- glenneroo 8y agoExcept that most telemarketing calls are themselves robots/recordings, so I'm not sure this helps anyone.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 8y agoThe future is a bunch of AIs trying to convince other AIs they're human.
- heyjudy 8y agoThere are some hillarious 419eater meet comedy answering apps that direct random pre-recorded skits to the scammer. When real-time natural speech synthesis arrives with unique accents, coupled to hardware-accelerated machine-learning, it would be within the realm of possible to direct a Turing-test-capable bot to waste a scammer's time with a generated situation and personality that meets various plausibility, social, customer qualifiers and scam-delaying constraints. Also at said point, the "are you a bot?" question non-IRL will be even more worthless but possibly comical.
