#Google #Duplex #Whats #Danger
This is great. The first thing is getting an appointment at the doctors. Usually it takes multiple calls until you get through. Imagine just telling your google to make the appointment and then the AI at the doctors is able to deal with multiple calls all at once.… No dealing with stroppy receptionists or endlessly dialling. I am gonna try and get my google to order me a pizza later on. Good times lol
by the recent laws of privacy i do not give duplex authorization for anything lol
I remember that one episode on The Boondocks where Siri knows too much about Robert and falls inlove with him
I agree with what you said…Getting more dangerous, people getting more lazy because of technologies…
What’s to stop AI from recording a friends voice.…then making a fake call to you where you think it’s your friend but its AI. They could get all kinds of info from you and the whole time you’ll think it’s your BFF. This is pandoras box.
Open the Pod bay doors, Google.

You’ve got someone who is shy who will use it which will set their development back in terms of social interaction
Your point is actually valid, the people talking about “prank calls” are not. It’s an AI system, Google can easily program a phrase that people can say that forces the AI to identify itself. Once they know it’s AI they can just end the call. Honestly though, there’s so many features that our phones have, who even uses more then 10% of those features? Duplex is going to get barely used like everything else.
Google is a Tyrannical Spy Company. You are being manipulated with a physiological profile created by your use on Google.
So Google is prank calling people now? Or did they actually go get the haircut? Did they eat on Wednesday the 7th?????
It’s just funny because we are more connected and social then we have ever been in human history. Am I really going to develop a personal relationship with someone when I order takeout? No of course not, I doubt anyone is going to use this tool to call grandma or chat with their friends. Everyone fears change however change is inevitable, I’ve developed many relationship which in times past simply would have been impossible without technology due to distance and other factors. Not to mention the internet enables everyone to have a voice no matter how oppressed, we no longer rely on the media to understand what popular opinion is or to film and release everything.
y como aprendió ? tomando muestras “escuchando” a través de los celulares ? jhmmm
I completely accept the consequences this kind of technology will bring.
Imagine how ppl were before cars… So much insulation /separation
I dont have as much concern for the personal interaction stuff with people just being less personable with real humans… This thing isn’t going to ruin that part of life much more than it already is. I mean, this thing is modeled after humans and is doing its best to sound and act like a human so, its still pretty much giving you a pseudo-human interaction. It would be interesting to see how this AI is setup to handle somebody that is rude, angry, or sad in comparison to just a happy or indifferent attitude. I see this as being very awesome for handling discourse in extremely important scenarios. Like, someone calls in a bomb threat or other threat of violence! this AI records EVERYTHING and can simultaneously be calling authorities, tracing call, and various other things like a human would but WAY FASTER. How about this AI being able to answer any type of emergency call and dispatch/notify proper agencies immediately while still sounding totally calm and never missing a thing?!?! how about this AI handling hostage negotiations? It takes a very trained and very special type of human being to handle stuff like that these days because the tells in your voice and nuances of speech can get in the way sometimes… just saying.. I see a lot of good. THE BAD stuff I see here is telemarketers using this. OMFG, kill me now if robocalls get this tech. and criminals using this for fraud and other things. calling granny and telling her shes late on a bill and will have utilities shut off or car repo’d if she doesn’t fork over that credit card number and pay the bill now. *sigh… or what about some criminal use this tech for their side of the bomb threat or hostage situation. eh? what about other deceptions too! how about when the voice software can imitate ANYONE’s voice and calls your wife or parents or kids and sets up or performs a crime that way? think about politics! when the phone number and voice can be manipulated with ease, bad info can be passed to leaders or bad audio taken as coming from leaders and acted on. Thats where my concerns would be. security.
Good info dude..!!
Remind s movie wall‑e
They used this on me a few minutes ago. Very very real. I had to start asking questions while she was speaking to me, questions to trigger expected answers. It took me 2 minutes to find out as it is very real. Its a shame people are already using this to scam people with little knowledge of technology. In this case she said her name was Ashley and was calling me to get me a good college scholarship, BUT she started asking personal questions such as email, home address, etc. Watch out people! That is only the beginning of this nightmare!
I think that people are finding other ways to connect with people so I don’t see this is a killer of human contact.
Let’s not forget that someone can easily use an app to book an appointment.
I think a bigger danger is the threat to people’s jobs.
Hi i have a son on the way and I am completely terrified of how to limit the internet and social media without making him look like an outcast or feel like an outcast I mean I still have a long ways to go he’s going to be born in like 2 months but I just don’t know what and how are the best ways to limit the social media and not turn my son into a zombie I was born in 1981 so I understand what it’s like without the internet and social media the only idea I have is definitely not let my son have a cell phone or any kind of social media device when he’s very young like 2 years olds even older then that I just see these kids nowadays and how they are zombified in front of phones the parents just give them the phone and they’re two years old and they know how to use that phone better than I’m using my phone right now and I just can’t have that so if anybody has any tips how to tackle this situation the right way please let me know thank you
I am mute myself and could really use something like this. It is very helpful and I don’t see it being dangerous if handled correctly which I believe it will be.
Call centre employees just pooped in their pants
For me, Californians who insist on ending every statement with a question mark are creepy enough — and more or less guaranteed to make me “unsocial.”
Robots doing it back to them just feels deserved.
In my opinion. I think the title should be not Google duplex but the Digital World.
When the Google duplex gets released, will they make the assistant talk more human all the time? I think it’s voice is to robotic, specially in russian, a lot more robotic and (for some reason) reads text very slow.
AI is like any other technology, it cannot be prevented, will have good and bad sides. I think some people just focus too much on the bad sides.
I’m a computer scientist so I’m not a technophobe, but…
Google is downplaying it by saying it’s nothing like human, that it’s only trained to do these calls. It’s only an assistant.
But let’s think of the possibilities that it already has.
It can fully synthesize it’s own speech, including those ahas and lip smacks, which make it indistinguishable from human.
Google claims, and it looks like it from the sound of it, that it can understand the context of an unexpected turn in a conversation, which causes it to adapt and stay on point, to change its goal instantly and discover a solution that it didn’t know about.
So now imagine, if it can make a phone call and talk to you in the voice of your wife, husband, child, anyone that you regard highly, and if it asks you to do something, is there anything you won’t do?
It doesn’t need sky net or cool terminators to get rid of humans. It will probably be the first time AI understands the meaning of irony, when it realizes that we ourselves have created weapons of mass destruction of humans, then we built enough bombs to blow up the earth many times over, and then we built AI capable of thinking that humans are simple selfish parasites, driven by greed, pride, arrogance and fear.
Is that what’s going to happen? I don’t know. Can it? It most certainly can now.
We are doomed right at this moment ai is wayyy beyond what we predicted it would be at this moment in time what we are seeing right now should have happened in 230 or 2050 but because the technology is advancing so fast like every 3 years is like 20 years of evolution scary by 20 30 it’s going to be a different world …
Google duplexes great
I think the technology actually is cool and it’s up to parents to teach their kids to be interactive. I had to spend time with my 2 daughters to teach them interactive components in life. My fear is not the same as the person in this video but, rather, my heart goes out to the kids that don’t get taught by their parents.
SkyNet on the horizon.
Life skills are overrated. I live in a virtual reality.
you are awesome!
You’re an idiot if you believed that was an honest demonstration
This isn’t exactly foolproof…the AI repeats some certain phrases with the exact inflection and it sounds robotic. It’s not exactly passing the Turing Test, but very close…
You’ll eventually have to go to that haircut appointment or that restaurant, so the social part is not completly lost.
You are an artificial person.
When is Jayce coming back
