[–] Australis13@fedia.io 14 points 2 years ago (3 children) I wonder how long before someone works out how to manipulate the AI and get it to say things the campaign didn't intend. permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago Hopefully not long. If you're gonna put up with an almost literal robo caller, better for it to be an insane-sounding one that brings whomever would subject people to it more trouble than the savings are worth.. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Boddhisatva@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago "Hello... what are you wearing?"

[–] Cort@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago Ah I see, since it's not pre-recorded it doesn't violate the robo call laws. This is going to get annoying really fucking fast permalink fedilink source

[–] Pons_Aelius@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago Non-compulsory voting is one of the biggest problems in the US system. Everyone always bangs on about their rights in a democracy but what about the responsibility of deciding who runs the place? It leads to "We have to make our base angry enough to get off their arses and vote". rather than "What policies will appeal to the most people". permalink fedilink source
