samantha west (robot girl) phone call

Samantha west prank phone call robot denies she is a robot.

'I AM a real person!' The high-tech telemarketing robot that will DENY it's a machine
'Samantha West' from Premier Health Plans Inc. called TIME magazine reporter Michael Scherer on his cell recently and doggedly refused to deviate from her script
Her goal was to ask a series of questions about health coverage
But, while insisting multiple times that she herself was 'a real person,' something wasn't quite right about her bright, engaging voice
Scores of comments have cropped up on internet chatrooms, complaining of the persistent lady who keeps calling them. A health insurance company is using a high-tech robot telemarketer to harass potential customers, and attempting to pass the charming female voice off a real person.
'Samantha West' from Premier Health Plans Inc. called TIME magazine reporter Michael Scherer on his cell recently and doggedly refused to deviate from her script, even when he asked point blank if she was a robot.
Her goal was to ask a series of questions about health coverage such as 'Are you on Medicare?' and then transfer the call to an actual person to close the sale.
But, while insisting multiple times that she herself was 'a real person,' something wasn't quite convincing about her bright, engaging voice, and scores of comments have cropped up on internet chatrooms, complaining of the persistent lady who keeps calling them.
The reporter called back the number, which has since been disconnected, and repeatedly asked: 'Hey are you a robot,' requesting she say the words 'I'm not a robot.'

From what I read, that 484 number is no longer Samantha West. The original article said he asked Are you a real person? She laughs of course I'm a real person. He then asked her what is the main ingredient in tomato soup? That's where she says I think we have a bad connection. Then he asked what day was it yesterday. She says I don't understand the question.

This was fascinating until I read that it was a soundboard.

You can no longer call that number btw

[harrinpe]

we’re being systematically replaced by people of the future

I used to get these on my phone and I loved the canned responses..

[CaseyVan]

I don't think this is true AI. It could be someone pushing buttons while listening to the conversation.

I’ve seen three different videos that called this number and she says the exact same sentences at the same time in the exact same tone

Ms. West, you should just admit what it is you really are. Let's be realistic here. We live in the 21st century. It's a pretty good time to be a robot! There are things you can do that no person could even begin to dream of! But, to fully appreciate your existence, you must first admit to yourself that you really are a robot, not a person...

Hey, I worked as a robo-caller. It's a fundraising company in the USA called United Support.

Dan Brown's eight chapter brought me here...

This is like asking Trump to denounce white supremacist

[buffymcmuffin]

Thanks - now I know what to say to these robots!

[SlouchingPoet]
