ChatGPT is also a brilliant tool for helping telemarketers and scammers. A few people pranking them and wasting their time does little to disperse the tsunami fraudulent calls and emails enabled by LLMs.

Soon it will just be AIs fighting AIs on the phone battle field.

Probably a net good, because if it gets too bad it will force the government to fix the situation.

I suppose we'll soon see a good % of phone network usage being spent on AI callers talking to AI filters/receptionists. Like all the Internet packets dedicated to captchas and blocking email spam, bot traffic, etc, phone systems will evolve to better filter and handle automated vs. human calls as a tsunami of AI callers approaches. It's going to be a tough battle because it's really difficult to discern from voice traffic alone.

"We've been trying to reach you about your car's extended warranty..." - How long was that shit allowed for?

Even now, oil companies are subsidized tens of billions of tax dollars per year - and they're not merely annoying; they're downright apocalyptic.

As long as the AI companies have lobbyists, I imagine they'll be allowed to do just about whatever they like to us.
