This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Plot twist: its just an AI impersonating a broke college student selling ceramic knives to an AI impersonating a broke grandma.
This is now 80% of your monthly minutes. Bullshit AI talking to bullshit AI. No wonder this was created by a phone company.
We’ve finally found it - an ethical application for deepfake AI
Best use case for AI I've come across.
Plot twist: AI comes to believe humanity consists solely of shithead scammers, initiates nuclear war
I'm beginning to believe humanity is mostly shit head scammers too.
"Im sorry dave, i cannot open the door"
A phone company built this? Based.
Soon all the scammers will be replaced with AI, and we'll just have AIs calling AIs all day long.

Way back in the 90s my friend and I let two instances of Eliza talk to each other for hours.
Good, thanks. You?
Good, thanks. You?
Good, thanks. You?
Good, thanks. You?
You are not wrong.
We do have automated AI that applies for jobs for you now. Its kinda hilarious in a dystopian way. https://github.com/AIHawk-co/Auto_Jobs_Applier_AI_Agent
Your not wrong
Oh, the irony
After 3 or 4 months of continuously applying for jobs I'm ready for an AI (or just a relatively simple browser plugin) to start filling out the forms for me.

To be fair, O2 has a massive issue with scammers and they need to do something about it. I switched to O2 about a year ago, keeping my old number. I'd rarely get scam calls or texts before I switched but since I've been with o2, I get 5-10 calls a week. Particularly annoying because I have to answer my phone due to my job
I first assumed this was a Kitboga project or something, but the fact that it's a mobile provider doing it themselves is amazing.
I wonder if mobile providers are still getting paid for long distance calls. Because if they are, they have a perverse incentive to keep scammers on the line.
Which, in this isolated case, I'm okay with.
After replacing writers and artists it is now replacing the entire category of, "old people". AI has reached the, "final solution" faster than I thought possible!
as long as the AI will give me sweets when I visit, I'm okay with it
Nice, there's also Lenny, which is great as well.
Lenny was insanely effective and didn't even need AI.
Awww, Lenny! I hope his third-eldest, Larissa is doing ok.
Give him a call and see!
🦆… 🗞️💥
Was wondering how long it would take to roll something like this out. Bout time.
It already existed, check out Lenny. Glad there are more options now though so scammers will be slower to catch on.
Been around a while. https://www.lennytroll.com
Lenny isn't AI; it's just a collection of prerecorded messages.
The tool has existed. Frosting it as “ai” doesn’t make it really different.
AI makes it different because this is likely dynamically synthesized speech that sounds real. Previous TTS engines wouldn't have sounded real enough to be believable.
It's amazing how simple something like this can be and still be effective.
Machine learning is not that necessary for this use case 😉
I used the rot to destroy the rot
Real talk though I love these applications of AI and will enthusiastically support them
