Anyone else see the news today that Google has succeeded in building an AI bot that used “Ums” and “Uhs” and pauses while talking to you, so as to make it indistinguishable from a real person?

Look for that showing up in the damn robo-calls soon.

Imagine all the fun the scammers will have programming them with variable scripts to call up congressmen in swing districts to tell them to vote for building the wall, cutting all environmental regulations, eliminating school lunch programs, etc. etc.
