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.

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.
