I suppose we'll soon see a good % of phone network usage being spent on AI callers talking to AI filters/receptionists. Like all the Internet packets dedicated to captchas and blocking email spam, bot traffic, etc, phone systems will evolve to better filter and handle automated vs. human calls as a tsunami of AI callers approaches. It's going to be a tough battle because it's really difficult to discern from voice traffic alone.
- ilaksh 3y agoWe're already kind of there. Android has had Google screening transcripts for awhile and Apple just came out with theirs. I don't think anyone who knows better ever actually answers the phone anymore unless it's someone they already know or have initiated some phone business with.
- Krasnol 3y agoI'm always quite surprised to hear that. We had quite a bad phase here in Germany before mobile phones became popular, but I haven't got one of those scam calls on my landline for years now. There isn't even much spam SMS, but maybe it's because I don't give away my number to everybody.
- tourmalinetaco 3y agoIt makes sense, landlines are in the minority and are presumably unprofitable now. I guess we’ve reached the point to where even the majority of the elderly have cellphones rather than landlines.
