Robocalls with AI voices to be regulated under Telephone Consumer Protection Act, the agency says. I'm pretty sure this puts us on the timeline where we eventually get incredible, futuristic tech, but computers and robots still sound mechanical and fake.

This has made me wonder.. have any other europeans ever had problems with these?

I don't recall ever having been called by a robot.

    One of the reasons might be that a) robo calls are illegal here, and b) if someone uses them, they are easy to hunt down.

    I once got some robocalls, all of the same makeup telling me I had won a car and should call a premium number to claim it (Ha!). I just reported those numbers to the local equivalent of the FCC, and they took it down within days.
