[@raye0826]

I have *really* bad anxiety -- when I have to call people, I tend to stammer a lot, and sometimes I forget what I was even going to say -- so I'm all about the idea of Google Assistant scheduling appointments and making reservations for me. HOWEVER, a) I think that it should definitely let the person know on the front end: "Hello, this is Google Assistant calling on behalf of [Name]" or what have you. I'm fine with talking to a robot, as long as I KNOW that I am. Also, b) employees should be informed by their management that Google Assistant is A Thing, and should be expected to interact with it appropriately if and when a customer uses it to make a phone call for them. So that's my two cents. :)

[@altaccount3124]

I understand you, but if you have problems socializing you shouldn't use this feature at all. You should practice speaking to others and vis phone's. Btw even if employees are informed about the fact that Google assistance exists, some trolls or idiots are going to hang up anyways.

[@benjaminhedrick]

@@altaccount3124 Are you a clinician? A doctor or professional in this sort of field? Please consider that when telling people how they "should" handle their issues.

[@dafoex]

I agree that this will be good for people with social anxiety or social communication disorders that are a result of genetics and are no fault of the person (I'm looking at you with that quip, Arthur) but I don't think robots have an obligation to be upfront about the fact they are robots. Yes, they should be truthful when asked, but many people talk to robots in that "dumb foreigner" voice, which makes it harder for the robot to understand because they were trained on natural language, so they shouldn't say or do anything that might get them to be treated like a nonhuman. Hell, I've told him a million times to talk like they're another person, but my dad still takes the "they can't understand me so I'll shout slower" approach when talking to Google, causing them to cut off halfway through his request.

If the AI is doing menial jobs like booking an appointment, I'd be ok with that.

[@havoc827]

Well it could be possible technically. Real people record their voices for the assistant to be able to have as normal of a human voice as possible. It certainly wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility for it to record some phrases that allow it to duplicate your voice as best as it can.

[@wolfferoni]

Before they do it with your voice, they would easily be able to do it through emails and texts just by analysing your past conversations. But yes, that Black Mirror episode 'Be Right Back'. If it gets to that stage and the technology is advanced enough, there might not be a way for people to differentiate whether you're you or not just by looking at and conversing with you.

I love the idea, but I think Google should (and I think they will) code the AI to answer *truthfully* if the callee asks if the caller is a Google Assistant. That would help people who feel unsafe.

[@AlexWithAnL]

Harold Philbert exactly. The same people who are afraid of an AI apocalypse are the same ones treating AI less than they would any other human

[@kevincomerford2242]

Interesting concept. If you ask then it tells you, but it otherwise acts natural.

[@SpektrikMusic]

Unsafe about what? Why does it matter if you're showing to a human or a robot?

[@sergeyb8]

Iuri Chiba sure. But that's details... Not a big deal and trivial.

[@zachmondial2172]

John McVickar you dont need to underatand the human brain to make ai. A writer for the new york times once said the wright brothers will never fly and it was a waste of time. A few week later they had their first successful. One of the wright brothers then predicted there will never be a flight from (i think they said) newyork to london. So dont be so sure that we are that far way from having ai that is extreamely human like may only be a few years

[@LashanR]

I think the catch with letting the person on the other end know that it's Google Assistant is that the trust in Google Assistant with the general public isn't there *yet* . If someone knows they're talking to a robot then (provided they don't hang up) their responses will be less human like and more rigid, meaning the assistant has a harder time getting better. I think one way to get around this is to release it and let people use it without people knowing it's a robot for say a year, and then after that Google sends out an email campaign to businesses telling them that Google Assistant will be notifying them if it calls, and gives them a *statistic* saying how many Google Assistant calls they've already received without issue and to simply respond to it normally, the staff might be more trusting that the assistant will be able to handle the query just fine.

[@tahasilat7394]

I agree

[@abcdxx1059]

People simply would not take it easy and call it a AI taking over the world and stealing privacy

[@dtracers]

I think they should program in that if the Google assistant is asked it should truthfully answer that it is in fact a robot. And maybe that should be a rule

[@ubspazzin1]

What if the restaurant had a robot handling the calls as well? So it's just two robots pretending to be real people talking to each other.

[@MCSMIK]

Balázs Ludmány all this stems from an absence of an online booking system. So if people were to implement one these calls wouldn’t happen. It reminds me how a partner at work was testing a fax to email number by using an email to fax service. Why don’t you just send an email I asked. Same here, why not get an online booking system where it’s also easy to reschedule and cancel appointments as many places still want a phone call for these changes which is mind boggling

[@TarDaniel]

And who's going to be made responsible for an inappropriate action of the robot? It can easily do "Swatting" I guess. So what than? If somebody dies because of this, who's going to be responsible?

[@faceless30s]

It would make far more sence to use Duplex for recieving call not for making them. As in Duplex would be a service for the hairdresser connected to a google calendar and it would register incoming calls and automaticaly make the appointments taking the load from the hairdresser. The next step should be to use Assistant to directly make the appointment into the hairdressers calendar without the need of calling. In a larger scale it would eliminate the need for call centers for example. Like you would call AT&T for tech support and Duplex would imediately help you without the need for waiting. From there it would be just a small step to integrate this to the assistant, you just ask google assistant to help you with your internet connection and it would. It's all cloud based anyway there isn't much of a difference.

[@akhil_kasiram]

no this is not ideal. the BPO industry ergo the call center industry provides ALOT of jobs and contributes ALOT to ALOT of countries' economies. like seriously, *ALOT.* if what you are saying happened, we'd be in hella trouble. maybe a solution is AI-assisted calls in the first layer, then an actual live agent on the next layer if the caller prompted for a live agent

Jose Guardiola u dont understand demographic shifts at all.

Think about this, we discover nuclear fusion and all energy is now free, water technologies get so gooder that water is free, the next green revolution makes food free, we move into the 5th stage pf demographic change where there's is zero population growth, some countries like united states, norway are getting close to that, and right now japan is actually having negative population. This will mean that we are going to have so much free time. It's not just an a period of mass leisure culture, no no, it will mass leisure culture squared, people will start doing nothing but hobies, sports, entertainment, arts, travelong the globe, it will be like spending all year at disney land, this is the ultimate goal for us and only trough technology can we achieve, you won't have to worry about food because robots will be doing it for u,making us water, energy, and other products. This is why technologies such as these are important to us

[@herambkhasnis5808]

If google can do Duplex... Then I think language isnt a barrier at all!

[@simons.6940]

In order to make Duplex as it is today, they must have trained the A.I with thousands maybe hundreds of thousands of recordings of real people talking (in English). That's a long time and a lot of work that it takes to make the assistant as fluent as they showed, Google would have to do the same thing with every other language assuming there's enough economic interest to do so. I'm not saying it won't happen, but it might take a long time for them to do it right.

[@VirtualVictoryTM]

ill3stjuan no. The difference between Jarvis and Ultron is that Jarvis doesn't have "wants" like human being. It also doesn't have feelings. So no it's not to the point of Ultron yet

[@ShivamSPatel-is-on-fire]

The Assistant already successfully got information from the restaurant lady even though what she said weren't exactly direct responses to the questions the AI asked. Also, if it can do that, then it's fairly easy for it to understand that if a person said "BANANAS" that it's not a response to its question and it'll say, "I'm sorry but I didn't understand that." or something along those lines.

[@praharsh_bhatt]

Google phone call will not be launching anytime soon. And when it launches, it's not going to be launched outside the US. Also, whenever the assistant calls the particular business, your phone will be on speaker phone. Because the assistant will utilise the speaker on your phone to output its voice. That means that you and everyone around you will be able to hear the entire conversation assistant has. It's not super convenient. I know this because I had tried it years ago for my own assistant app. Whatever the case may be, because of GA getting so good, it's giving developers like me a hard time.
