Also it’s fucked up that the automated robot voices have typing noises in the background so old people think they’re talking to an actual person sitting at their computer, like that shit is insulting as fuck

I was listening to this podcast once and the guy on it was telling a story about how he got a telemarketer call which he was talking to when he started wondering if it was a machine or not so asks “Wait…am I talking to a machine right now?”

And the woman’s who’s calling responds “Oh wow am I that bad today?” and of course he immediately feels bad an apologizes and tells her that he used to work in telephone marketing so he totally understands it just starts getting monotonous after a while, and the machine laughs it off like “Oh don’t worry it’s fine.”

So he keeps talking with her and it gets really weird again, like she’s not responding to what he’s actually asking or repeating the questions he just answered and he starts getting kind of freaked out by it and he realizes the voice never actually said they were a real person, not a machine.

So he’s not sure what’s going on so he asked again. “Wait….is this a real person I’m speaking to or a machine?” And there’s a long pause.

Then the caller hangs up.

Once we’re programing machines to literally imply they’re not machines (not say they aren’t because it’s probably illegal) that’s too far. I don’t know why that freaks me out as much as it does but it’s kinda scary to me. I feel like going that far with it should be a crime.

It should be, these little steps in blurring humanity and automation are fucked up

_{THAT WAS A ROOSTER TEETH PODCAST, OMG}

_{(here’s the animated version that gets to the point)}

Gotta love the wording of that whole comment.

“…was listening to this podcast once and the guy…” etcetera, like trying to keep it secret that it was referring to RT.

HAHh!
