alt Hacker NewsI'm not sure how related this is, but I feel like it is.
I received a couple of emails for Ruby on Rails position, so I ignored the emails.
Yesterday out of nowhere I received a call from an HR, we discussed a few standard things but they didn't had the specific information about company or the budget. They told me to respond back to email.
Something didn't feel right, so I asked after gathering courage "Are you an AI agent?", and the answer was yes.
Now I wasn't looking for a job, but I would imagine, most people would not notice it. It was so realistic. Surely, there needs to be some guardrails.
Edit: Typo
I had a similar experience with Lexus car scheduling. They routed me to an AI that speaks in natural language (and a female voice). Something was off and I had a feeling it was AI, but it would speak with personality, ums, typing noise, and so on.
I gathered my courage at the end and asked if it's AI and it said yes, but I have no real way of verification. For all I know, it's a human that went along with the joke!
