the assistant can make retail drone lives a living hell by booking reservations for you and not telling them they're talking to a machine

The Management posted:wow, pushing more features into maps sure is a thing https://lifehacker.com/access-classic-google-maps-through-this-url-1598011643 quote:With regard to features, the biggest difference between the old and the new version of Maps, though, is that this new version is completely personalized for every user. I guess good that it's actually going to do what it was supposed to already be doing and this is a huge exciting announcement? My general impression of google's announcements: it's really weird that it was all focused on AI stuff that seems to have very little to do with any of Google's actual existing products other than smart speakers. (Incidentally, my coworker who owns Google stock and is obsessed with smart speakers was insistent that Duplex is all about smart speakers, even though I don't see why that would be better than pushing a button to make a reservation unless you've already heavily consumed the smart speaker coolaid?) I do think that Duplex is actually going to be great for people who hate using the phone. Assuming it isn't cancelled or immediately sued out of existence, stores are going to hate it so much that it will probably kill phone numbers for good (maybe this is the real goal?). Also if Google News is really going to switch to just pulling in random stuff from the web through the magic of AI that's really going to be terrifying and useless. I guess the existing site just isn't sexy enough for Google now/ mystes fucked around with this message at 23:22 on May 9, 2018 |

i suspect phone call receivers will hate duplex at first and then not mind it too much once they learn how to identify duplex callers and how to navigate the "conversation" as quickly as possible which is sort of the opposite of what google is hoping for

google loving hates the pots system and yeah this is a way to make it worthless i'm certainly never answering the telephone again

eh, it seems cool and good if it can answer all of my incoming spam calls and auto connect to a live human and berate them to stop calling me the spam calls seems to be getting noticeably worse within the past few months using local exchange number spoofing and all

The Management posted:“hi, James’s pizza, are you a real human?” in the Otherland novels by Tad Williams, on that future version of the internet, you're allowed to ask if anyone is a real human and they have to answer truthfully. It's rude to do so though, unless you know for sure it's an AI agent. The main character does this once and it turns out she's talking to a real person, but he's so by the book and dull that she was sure he was a robit

the short term will be AI on the receiving end to handle these calls as well and then once AI recognizes AI they will switch to some kind of data modulation and then eventually Ai to Ai will know to just use out of band signaling which will remove the need for pstn involvement at all.

if the duplex thing gets any traction businesses will just lobby so a register of numbers that can’t get called by AI is created

LastInLine posted:what the gently caress is wrong with these people severe social anxiety probably. but google aint targeting to help people who have to navigate mental issues, they're marketing towards 'busy' people who don't have time to make a quick phone call. the kind of people who answer the phone with the phrase 'talk to me', or insists on phoning you with awful bluetooth, or will, mid conversation, ask their phone's personal assistant to do something, and have you wait as they repeat the command over and over till the phone gets it right. maybe shop owners wouldn't mind dealing with duplex, they'd mind having to deal with the kind of people who use duplex.

https://www.axios.com/google-ai-demo-questions-9a57afad-9854-41da-b6e2-5e55b619283e.html people are questioning whether the google call for a hair appointment thing was staged: quote:When you call a business, the person picking up the phone almost always identifies the business itself (and sometimes gives their own name as well). But that didn't happen when the Google assistant called these "real" businesses:
