    I am a Patreon supporter of Jim Browning. Incidentally, I got this email today:

    At last, I can reveal something I’ve been working on in conjunction with a major UK cellphone operator, O2. Meet dAIsy. Daisy is an AI bot who answers scam phone calls. Thanks to the mobile operator who can fingerprint scam phone calls via the calling pattern, source, sequence of calls and other markers, scam calls are being diverted to an AI bot who has been trained to keep the scammers on the phone as long as possible.

    This is my recording of a Zoom interview I had today with Channel 5 news in the UK where you can see dAIsy in action.

    I will continue to train dAIsy with real scam phone calls. When we perfect her, the aim is to work with other cell and landline operators to divert scam calls to thousands of instances of dAIsy. […]

    So you’re not wrong about this being a project of some anti-scam YouTuber, you just guessed the wrong one. ^^
