Caller WhyD
iOS has call screening now and it is really fucking nice.
Calling from an unknown number that isn’t on my contacts list? You have to listen to Siri ask whats the purpose of your call, and then Siri will let me know your response. Then, if available to answer based on how you responded, ill swipe to join the call.
My phone has this cool feature where a bot can answer the call and you can see a live transcript, with options to choose answers for “ask why they are calling”, “tell them to call back later”, etc. I use it all the time.
Is that what my phone is doing? I always see a shitty transcript of “what this call is about” but it’s rarely accurate
Same here
Yeah I think it’s an Android thing. I’ve only gotten a valid answer maybe once or twice.
And then you got an ad before you know the justification.
Shit, you’re right, they would totally find a way to enshittify.
I won’t call you back unless you leave a voicemail. Too many years in IT did this to me. I NEED to know wtf you are calling about.
I wonder how long before people are going: “Don’t stress me out and ruin my day by texting me” or “I would like a warning, by a slight breeze starting to blow, five minutes before receiving an email”.
Asynchronous methods of communication don’t bother me. It’s only when someone calls me in the middle of my day, expecting me to drop everything and answer.
When I was a kid, my friends would all come to my house and yell until I came outside… Many Westerners today are simply broken.
If they’re not in my very short contact list, it goes to voicemail. Isn’t that how everyone does it?
It’s not like anyone calls me anymore, anyway. Any.
This is just one of many uses of texting.
