People talking about Google assistants and how to automate voice calls underestimate the creepiness of it all. Case in point: @brainblasted got a call and writes about it, here:

Automated voice calls and automated dialects are already used by political parties and businesses. In the end telephony will be like email: a way to be spammed. We will hide our phone numbers and refuse to take calls from strangers. It’s what I already do. #telephony #spam

@kensanata @brainblasted Spam callers have predate email and plenty of them already use robocallers

The only difference is that google voices caller is a little more realistic

@Satsuma @brainblasted Of course. Which is why I delisted and then cancelled my land line years ago and kept my mobile phone number unlisted since the very beginning. I am essentially already treating phone calls spam and I’m not alone. Improving automation in this regard will force more people to make the same decisions, I assume.
