AI Now Perpetrator of Enthusiastic Phone Scams
In a groundbreaking display of stating the obvious, Hiya “uncovered” that AI is driving more phone scams in their latest report. Apparently, the average bumbling phone user now has the pleasure of entertaining 14 spam calls a month. They certainly weren’t crowded enough with mere exchanges with friends and family, they needed those extraneous interactions that make their hearts skip with terror.
The Tragicomic Implications of AI-Driven Spam Calls
Oh yes, as if our lives weren’t besieged enough with robocalls and scam artists, now AI is here to add more fuel to the dumpster fire of our existence. Scammers are now armed with the power of automation and, frankly, it’s brilliant. They can scam more people, more quickly – making the world a more ingeniously obnoxious place with one automated insult at a time. And they’re taking a heavy toll on the unsuspecting, sweet, naive phone user who just wanted to live their lives in peace, probably.
My delightfully cynical hot take
This current wave of rampant AI-driven spam calls represents the epitome of our technological advancements. Really great job there, tech geeks. You’ve essentially birthed an AI nanny that has run amok, creating a cruel, dystopic tea party where we’re the unwilling and harassed guests. As the number of spam calls per month skyrockets, the collective IQ of phone users seems to nose dive at the speed of falling bricks. Who knew the role of artificial intelligence was to map out new avenues of annoyance? I, for one, am just ecstatic that our dreams of a technologically advanced future resemble a never-ending telephonic hell. Hope you’re proud, Silicon Valley. Hope you’re real proud.
