Software engineer here. It was pretty obvious the volume of spam calls was going to go through the roof with AI being ubiquitous. So I always try some prompt injection when they call me. Proudest achievement was a 3 minute recital of the digits of pi.

@fesshole How does one do this? Just start asking questions instead of answering the AI's questions?

@VE3RWJ @fesshole Yes. once you make them go out of script, you can basically make them say anything.

@fesshole I'm very proud of it so I say it every time I can but having a conversation with an AI trying to sell me tax refunds for heating system over the eligibility of my piss fueled furnace was very funny.

@fesshole

My late father used to engage the live person sellers...he'd be doing other work, reading or whatever and say "yes, maybe, tell me how this works" for several minutes then say "no thanks."

Of course this was the 90's and his personal infromation wasn't out there like ours is today.

@fesshole I don't answer the phone unless I know the phone number. Years ago when it was humans that called, if they asked if I was the homeowner I would answer "I am a warm ham sandwich". That pretty much ended all calls.

Sounds kinda fun, but not really worth the effort of picking up.

@fesshole I usually act like Sonar from Down Periscope, screeching like a lonely whale to evade a nuclear attack sub.
