The Only Thing Weirder Than a Telemarketing Robot

When a salesperson named Samantha West called a TIME reporter, she seemed like a computer. But with current technology, it might not be possible to build such a robot, raising a truly bizarre possibility. The AtlanticLink.

That was really strange. After all, in only had to say the phrase, "I'm not a robot.", which it either couldn't or never did for some reason. I believe that it was a sophisticated telemarketing bot! How remarkably strange. Interesting find!

Show me your papers or credentials to prove you are a citizen of this town. Laughing and putting it off only adds to one's lack of credibility doesn't it.
If you WERE a citizen, you'd have no problem in showing your papers, otherwise the shadow of doubt is cast upon you!!

Hmmm....
In the world of AI, it's the thought that counts!

It was no bot but a soundboard which some guy in India was clicking on. It couldn't say "I am not a robot" as that wasn't one of the sound clips.
Feeling Chatty?
