Guy next to me at the cafe I’m working out of this morning gets a call:
“… no we don’t live there anymore… no… no, we don’t live there anymore… are you serious?! [my ears perk up] Is this AI?… It is?!”
Spoke to him afterwards. Apparently “some energy company.” And it was an LLM on the other side. He said it sounded so real (a woman who gave him her name and sounded perfectly normal) until he asked it if it was AI when it responded “yes” and then restarted the script.
*smdh*

I suspect that strongly worded letters direct to those companies CEO's will have little effect but may provode catharsis to the sender 😌
We're in deep 💩 now

in reply to Aral Balkan • • •I had a call like this the other week. the inflection kind of gives it a way and as someone who worked in call centers while in university no one is that chipper to be working in one.
So I started trying to give it verbal prompts. didn't get far but I DID get it to explain to me how to center a div.
So if you suspect you're getting a call from an LLM just start throwing prompts at it. Hell it might actually help you get some work done.

They start with "Hello, can you hear me." In a very pleasant voice. First was female, now I'm getting male voices as well.
I'm talking 2-3x daily. Its gross

"How's your day going?"
"Pretty good, except for the cancer."
"That's great to hear! Anyway…"
