This is a thing. It's called Call Screening
I use it on android and most people just hang up.
But it's nice knowing that companies who call me also have to talk to a robot first before reaching the human, meπ
I like it when they actually have to reach me because they start talking to it professionally and when I answer I've had at least two people say something like "I wish I had an assistant like that."
IDK what it sounds like but it always makes me chuckle a little.
I refuse to take any calls from robot, i've had Dr offices say "we tried to call you" and I reply "no you didnt you had a robot try to call me and I ain't got time for that shit", of couse "ain't got time" is relative, because I am mostly just digging holes in mine craft.
Nah fuck that. Your time is precious and I'd rather be spending time in minecraft than answering an unexpected phone call. So yeah, "I ain't got time" indeed.
Sounds nice, but usually when someone calls me, they need something quickly, and that would be really annoing. At least I'm lucky enough that people don't call me if they can send a text message instead.
Same, my favourite thing recently is when the caller is an AI, I just get a voicemail of the darker AI taking to my pixel's on device AI for 30 seconds
I have it too. It's glorious.
9 out of 10, it's bots talking to bots.
But the 1 time, it was my doctor calling about something afterwards. I love it.
