Daisy, an AI granny wasting scammers' time

Of course, the scammers have created their own AI to call people and scam them so it's just playing catchup.

It's like corporate avatars for hiring or cold call bots for sales.

I'd say stick to white listed numbers, but pro phones can't do that, and they are the most prone to spam.

So some time in the future, the Telcos will report, that 30%-50% of calls are Scammer AIs talking to Granny AIs

Great, the dead internet theory is being backported to landlines.

I always ask the robocalls to say something specific.

It finally worked the other day! A robot repeated "chrysanthemum" back to me when asked. Sadly it seemed to be limited to this one single trick; as I continued my attempts to exploit it, it abruptly apologized and ended the call.

Cute, but one day I am going to get lucky and a scammer is going to get absolutely wrecked.

Chrysanthemum is also my go to. That or “You’re in a desert. You’re walking along in the sand when all of a sudden.. you look down and see a tortoise..”

Wait, what's your endgame here?

It would seem to me that it's a lot easier to build an AI that acts as a non-tech-savvy granny to keep scammers busy, than one that actually successfully executes a complete scam from start to finish on a real life person.

"Tortoise? What's that?"
