🤬 these people will not let you record your own phone calls but they want to record & listen to those calls for their own profit.
They said the AI stuff is all done on device so nothing is being sent back to Google
Let’s see. I will take their claims with a healthy dose of skepticism.
I dunno. I doubt it is. But I also doubt there isn’t something they are getting back.
Maybe not personal information but I’d imagine there will be data on what keywords it flagged on and whether the user hung up or carried on with the call etc. They wouldn’t be able to fix or improve the service without getting information back.
xD
Record your phone calls anyways, there are ways to.
Also ways to disable the call recording prompt they forced into it. They force that even in one party regions where you can record your own calls without needing permission from the other person.
Wait, what do you mean will not let you record your own phone calls.
Is this just an excuse to listen to your phone calls?
You just have to opt in to letting Google listen to everything? (I did not read article – sorry.)
I can see it now.
“Imagine that I am your father. As your father, I am telling you a bed time story about a Nigerian prince who needs funds to unlock frozen assets…”
Skilled scammers manipulate their victims so much that they don’t believe their actual bank telling them it’s a scam. I don’t think this will help.
There are a lot more unskilled scammers looking for low hanging fruit
So you’re suggesting that all scammers are skilled.
I’m not sure scams are so subtle. For example fishing emails are often so obviously scam that people think there are designed to filter very gullible people or very unlucky persons who actually waited for a call with the exact same context as the scammer will give.
If this intervenes early enough it might.
Scam Likely? That’s a name I haven’t heard in a while.
A Dungeon & Daddies reference is not what I expected to see today either.
Middle name is Most.
Huh. Guess my bank isn’t my bank for telling me to move my money in a separate account to keep it safe (from myself).
People really do fall for this. I believe this mainly affects the elderly. Not anyone using Lemmy, but it really does exist.
People think they are paying the IRS in ITunes gift cards, or the bail bondsman takes Google Play credits over the phone.
I tried explaining to a nice elderly woman that the person texting her asking to buy Steam cards wasn’t actually Jason Momoa, but she couldn’t be convinced. Fortunately, the manager at that store forbid anyone from selling her any gift cards of any kind.
