Soon, call scams will figure out how to use their own LLMs to run the scams, and we’ll just have robots talking to robots.

Most of my spam is already robots. But I can see the call network going down because all calls are now just robots talking to robots with no exit loop. Would be the final nail in the coffin for voice calls for me.
