Reminded me of Lenny and he didn't even need any AI to waste a lot of scammers' time.

Maybe Daisy has become sentient and has taken over all operations at 02. No one noticed.

I remember setting up Lenny and forwarding calls I used to get to him while commuting on the bus early in my career. It was a lot of fun to listen to scammers start to freak out when they realized what was happening.

Our record at the office was 47 minutes. FORTY SEVEN MINUTES keeping a scammer on the phone till they hung up. We never laughed so much at work in all of twenty years. :D
