If you hate telemarketers, you’ll love this robot designed to waste their time

The Washington Post:

In a typical call, the robot keeps the telemarketer on the phone for a few minutes, but in some cases they go on for much longer. The robot does this by cleverly exploiting a flaw in the telemarketer playbook: staying on the line if the person is agreeable. So the system leans on “yeah,” “sure,” “okay” and “yes.” In one instance the robot kept a cable company on the line for 22 minutes.

Yes, please.

  1. The phone number they use has a 214 area code. Dallas Texas, my home town. Woohoo! Very glad to think that someone local is making life miserable for at least a few telemarketers.

  2. Works until the telemarketer is from an institution with whom you already have a relationship, and a positive answer is reason to add a new service!

    Careful what you wish for!
