"Humans in general don't mind talking to machines so long as they know that they're doing so," Weinstein says. "I anticipate significant negative reactions by many persons who ultimately discover that they've been essentially conned into thinking they're talking to a human, when they actually were not." With so many of us cursing at our phones daily for all those annoying robo calls, Alex Quilici, the CEO of the app YouMail, which promises to cut down on robocalls, calls Google's technology "a massive Christmas present to robocallers." - - - --Lauren-- Lauren
