The Bot That Calls Your Mother
An app learns your voice and your phrases well enough to hold a twenty-minute phone call. It rings your mother every Sunday, asks about her week, remembers her neighbour's name. She's happy. She has no idea. Your actual calls had dropped to one a month.
Do you switch it on?
Then ask
- Is your objection about her, or about how it would make you look to yourself?
- When did you last call someone out of duty and count the minutes?
- If she used one on you, would you want to be told?
The classics and some new ones. A scenario, the question it forces, and the follow-ups that make it bite.
