Listen To How Artificial intelligence Poses As A Human And Makes Phone Reservation
This is scary and awesome at the same time. Google’s new AI sounds like a human on the phone, and some experts say, we should be very worried.
Sundar Pichai wanted to demonstrate the capabilities of the platform, which now seems to be so far ahead of the competition that it tricks ordinary people into believing they are speaking with another human and not some creepy AI assistant.
During the demonstration, Google had the AI Assistant ask for an appointment in a hairdressing salon, and the conversation feels so natural that it is practically impossible to distinguish a real person from the AI.
Now imagine combining Sophie, the creepy human robot, and Google’s AI assistant.
As noted by the verge, “if robots can freely pose as humans the scope for mischief is incredible; ranging from scam calls to automated hoaxes. One effect of AI phone calls might be to make us all a little bit ruder. If we can’t tell the difference between humans and machines on the phone, will we treat all phone conversations with suspicion?”
And they’ve got a point there, after all the possibilities are endless, despite the fact that there are more good sides than bad sides to it.

Just what we don't need... Another fucking thing to worry about...
It's bad enough that humans can easily steal the identity of other humans... Now, Artificial Intelligence programs can easily do the same thing?
So much for things like voice recognition software...
And as noted... should I now have to verify that the calls that I receive, are from my real family and friends, and not some evil android?
I guess we all have to send out new annual verbal passwords to our families and friends with our paper Christmas Cards each year...
"Coming Soon To A Store Near You... Your very own Arnold Schwarzenegger, Terminator Android!... Your friends won't be able to know the difference!... And if you also buy a Sarah Conner sex doll, with your purchase, it will only cost you half the price!"
Disturbingly, This IS very much a reality today. They just have to decide to build them...
I'd rather speak with "some creepy AI assistant". At least that way I know who and what I am talking with.
