    This is a really cool use of GPT, I love it! Anything that makes telemarketers and scammers waste their time and raises their costs/lowers their profitability is a good thing, in my view.

    I’ve been using https://jollyrogertelephone.com/ to do this for the past few years and it does seem to cut down on the overall # of spam calls I get. And even if that’s just placebo effect, I still get dozens of funny recordings of telemarketers getting run around to laugh at.

    Edit: it looks like they have started using AI recently, which can only make it better.
