Have any of you started to get AI robocalls? I've had a couple of calls recently where I get the connect silence of a predictive dialer followed by a woman speaking with call center background noise. She gives her name and asks how I'm doing. The first time it happened it seemed off for reasons I can't quite articulate, so I asked: "Are you a robot or a person?" She responded "yes" and then launched in to a sales pitch. The next time I asked, "where can I direct your call?" She responded "that's good" and launched in to her pitch. They're more in the domain of artificially stupid but yes.

The anti spoofing/spam app I have that screens calls to several DIDs I have pointed at one phone reports a dozen or so calls per day. I would generally assume that the current rate will hasten the demise of the remaining pots services.
