@RoboticistDuck @cendyne @cetsch I’m just thinking of the scenes from the “Terminator” franchise where the cyborgs are talking on the phone with a clearly fake voice. (“I love you too, sweetie” and “What’s wrong with Wolfie?”)
If I ever get a wierd call I’d just say something nonsensical and see how the family member replies. We also have a “under duress statement” (phrase that sounds plausible but totally false for our family) in a serious emergency.
@RoboticistDuck @cendyne @cetsch I hear that telltale ever so slightly robotic voice and I immediately exit. Most of the time the tell is in the channel or thumbnails. But it’s gotten so so bad and saturated.
The whole “Elsagate” thing several years back that led into those horrible mass-produced “kids videos” was a final warning. YouTube was probably NOT going to be able to properly curate content at all in the future.
