#74059 — AI phone answering and menus

it is getting sooo good. it's almost impossible to tell you're not 
talking to a real person. the voice is so natural/real, and there's not 
just canned responses, relevant sentences are constructed in reply. the 
only giveaway is the slight delay in replying. we're now living in the 
realm of what was science fiction just a few decades ago.

And yet "AI transcription" seems shite at speech recognition. I tried it 
on a movie a week ago, and some of the results were nonsense. On a par 
with Monty Python's Hungarian Phrase Book.
