[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 9614159, member: 19675"] “AI” spam calls almost always tip their hand that they’re not human pretty quickly.* But if you’re unsure and pointedly ask them if they’re a robot, most are scripted to respond with BS about background noise and/or their equipment altering their voices, and immediately return to asking you to verify this or that. OTOH, if you ask a suspected “AI” caller to verify their humanity by asking a personal question- like a shoe size- they’ll dodge it every time. The question won’t generate any kind of human-like pause of surprise, indignance, confusion or even a lie. At best, the response will be a complete non-answer, as if you had not asked the question.** * I’ve gotten certain AI spam calls so frequently that I recognize the scripts, and sometimes even the monickers they use. Kinda suspicious when “Alice” calls you with the same offer from the Duluth office one day and Tonga 2 days later… ** depending on my mood, I’ve also determined caller inhumanity by simple profanity, singing nonsense songs (“Spaaaaaaace hippos!”), and trying other languages.
