I've gone back to just calling people on the phone like a true savage.
replyUnfortunately that's not enough, voice AI is very good nowadays,
replyIf someone puts me on with a voice AI i'm never talking to them again lol.
replyI put spam robocallers / scammers on the phone with voice AI all the time, after navigating their IVR and intentionally requesting to speak to a human scam-agent. This in no way deters them calling.
reply...which might be exactly what they wanted in the first place.
replyWeirdly, and MAYBE tangentially related to AI, me too.
replyI've been driving my friends nuts cuz we're all neurodivergent little goblin people and now I just call them. And they aren't actually mad they're just like "what's wrong with you" and it's just like, look, sometimes I just need a fuckin answer to a fuckin question, and faster is better. And phone calls are instant.
I think they're coming around now cuz two of em do it to me.
Aw. A little goblin network.
replyI never stopped.
replyRelax, it's niche internet points, you'll be fine lol
