It is also a web API from what I can tell so there is more of a delay than you would expect from a normal person plus there is probably a delay on the phone line already. I honestly think if he could boost the latency a little it would go a long way to increasing realism.

[@AaronNazzy]

or at least have it remember that phrase for for a certain amount of time, like 30 seconds or so and then have it forget the phrase so that it can be repeated if the question comes up again later.

[@ssrrapper]

It should also remember the topic of conversation so that when it asks "did you leave me a voicemail?" and the scammer says "yes" the AI uses the word "voicemail" when coming up with its next sentence instead of building it on "yes" without paying attention to what "yes" referred to.

try adding a tag on some of the lines so they're only said once and possibly try adding a kinda script-ish flow by way of telling the AI what it's allowed to repeat twice and what lines are acceptable to be said after whatever it said last, kinda emulate it's ability to follow along. Curious as to where this has gone so far.

[@umemployedable]

instead of saying I have a virus you need to get a copy of the scammers script. Probably the " I just had a virus alert window pop up on my screen and it stated I need to ring your support phone number". Your A.I. was coming across to intelligent for a senior citizen . LOL A flow chart of the script and the expected victim response would streamline your A.I. I don't know if you can branch on the type of scam so a virus scam gets a virus A.I. if it is I.R.S. scam they get the IRS - A.I routine. Also listening to active scams might give you more responses. The gift card could go to a routine where the car trip to the store and talking to the pretend shop keeper about the gift card purchase could waste ten minutes ! The other thing I thought of was after a certain time the A.I. could say "Um what was the reason I called you as I get a bit muddled in the head and sometimes I can't remember things" A pretend door bell ringing and the A.I. saying "Hang on someone is at the Door and I will need to answer the door" Then it could be anything to delay the call from a fedex delivery to a neighbour asking for Sugar to borrow Kitboga you are on a real winner with this idea. ! next is a mobile app that can divert a caller to you A.I.
