FCC to declare AI-generated voices in robocalls illegal under existing law (arstechnica.com)

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.

I'm not sure where you're getting the idea that I want them to send texts. I don't want unnecessary messages on my mobile phone, since it's with me all the time, where I feel more compelled to look at it. I would rather they send a voicemail to my landline and I can listen to the message when I feel like it. Most of the time I'm working on my computer and I can hear the voicemail being recorded in the background, and that's all I need. By using the landline I'm offloading relatively unimportant stuff away from the more distracting device, the mobile.
