we all know the end game: ai scammer talking to ai granny

As long as the scammer's paying to route the call, I'm ok with this. And the telcos' fitness function for their pool of robogrannies should be time-spent-on-call. Making it uneconomic is the way to kill it.

Half of the spam calls I get today are AI. And I get more or less one spam call a day.

AI Guilfoyle and AI Dinesh

dead internet theory, telco edition.

presumably someone is still getting charged for calls and AI -- and therefore someone is making money -- in this situation though, non?
