Anyone else eagerly awaiting a deluge of ChatGPT scam calls?

More than a few places won't even recognize VoIP numbers as legitimate primary numbers, and this will only make it worse. I'm not surprised an organization tied to Microsoft is going to ruin another thing I like.

Hopefully it’ll be possible to use this to dispatch faxes over SIP as well

That's kind of cool. I hope more companies do this. If I understand it correctly, I can provide my own SIP server, so ChatGPT can join conferences or answer incoming calls.

Oh, Jesus Christ.

Is this why I've gotten 7+ spam robocalls in the past 2 days?

This is how we get AI regulations.

Lowering the barriers to AI executed fraud, 1 SIP trunk at a time! This screams for regulation. I don't see how OpenAI can claim to avoid liability using regulations originally meant for telecommunications carriers and now used to cover ISPs and Big Tech while also claiming their services are intelligent.

I predict by 2030 humans are back to paper and personal messengers just so we can get some peace from slam. I look forward to iMessage latest revolution from Apple. It takes a revolutionary to bring human connection back in the feel of your hands. Send incredibly beautiful textured linen paper, folded to perfect, tucked in a pocket of starched paper, sealed with the latest in molecular bond technology. Upgrade with iCut Pro, a shimmering blade in silver, gold, rose gold, and matte black that pairs incredibly with iMessage to open each embodiment of human connection with a swift, crisp cut.

They 100% added this because they want to be regulated, sued, blamed.

They really went to a lot of trouble to do this when none of us answer the phone to unknown numbers anymore.

This feature was sponsored by Indian fraud call centres

They can combine it with the info they have on ChatGPT users and sell readymade call scripts for ..."marketing" purposes to the highest bidder. It could be very valuable product!

So now The Lawnmower Man can be real jk

Cancer. You won't talk to a human being anymore, and everyone will block numbers not in contacts.

And just like that, a thousand startup valuations went poof.
Pushy
Great. More spam
belzebub
This might be the worst idea in history.

I think you guys havent seen how large corps use/run call centers/BPOs. Indian (legal) call centers rake in billions of $$$ a year. This kind of feature is to try to get a leg into that market. 100% sure enterprise stacks asked for it.
