Such things were doing a good-enough job scamming the elderly as it is--even with the silence-based delays.

That’s unfortunate and certainly not what I spend my time dreaming about. My favorite use case for the elderly is as a sort of companion for sharing their story for future generations. One of our partners uses our technology to help elderly. But yeah, this kind of technology makes AI feel more natural, so we should be aware of that and make sure it’s used for good.
