Anyone else eagerly awaiting a deluge of ChatGPT scam calls?

Call your representative and bother them about punishing the callers and telcos. It can be regulated. Just needs people to care.

Better yet, prompt ChatGPT to do it.

This. Call their offices a hundred times per day to reinforce the point. Leave voicemails each time. Use different personalities and names and numbers on each. They might not get each literal message, but they're get the figurative message.

the number of spam calls I get on a well published number has gone way up since 2024. Like dozens per day. Twilio filters don't work, support doesn't "get it". I recently ported in an old-persons number and holy CRAP! Calls starting at 7am their time and lasting through dinner!

Just tell it you're hard of hearing and need it to say "Albuquerque, New Mexico" after every word containing letter "a".

Cringing at myself for referencing Rick and Morty, but it’s too apt.

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.

Remember they literally had, and cancelled, Steve Jobs's real-postcard-from your-photos passion project.

You'll only be able to talk to someone if your Apple watch reports that your heart rate is acceptable for the call, and they won't be able to answer the call if their Apple watch says they're too agitated.

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.

How is this different from Twilio's Voice API that's been around since 2008?

Don't worry, they'll self-regulate. I'm sure they'll successfully ban anyone trying to use this for legit business purposes or for handling personal matters while allowing spammers who are even remotely clever to operate thousands of simultaneous accounts and place billions of calls without getting caught.

Then a month later they'll reinstate your account with zero explanation. Any attempt to contact customer service will be met with AI responses saying they got your message but are upholding your ban.

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

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

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!

Just like the telcos, if they're willing to pay, they're open for business.
