I am convinced there will be a large subset of the population who will push back on AI voice agents and still wish to talk to a real person. Just like how Grandma still prefers to bank cheques at the teller every pension day.

Perhaps when the job losses really start becoming apparent it will become a social movement as well. I'm sure there will be businesses that will find having humans answer calls a sustainable competitve advantage.

I'm not convinced AI voice agents are there just yet. As someone else mentioned, edge cases will trip them up.

Nevertheless, at some point I envision a web designed for agents where the business agent will interact with my agent to resolve an outcome.

The horrifying thought is dating. Sally's agent will end up telling Barry's agent to stop contacting it, Barry's agent won't understand and the the Police's agent will invoke a judicial agent to issue a 'stop communication' order to Barry's legal agent to deliver to Barry's personal agent.

I love this future of agents!

It gets rid of the one thing I hate most in my life: acknowledging the existence and interiority of other human beings, and being acknowledged in return.

I long for this future where I can be alone in the cyber prism. It surely won’t become a cell!
