Brilliant AI bot imitates a granny to keep phone scammers on the line for hours
Of all the AI chatbot ideas we have seen since ChatGPT went viral nearly two years ago, O2's Daisy (stylized as "dAIsy") is easily among the best. It's an incredibly brilliant idea from a British operator who wants to prevent scammers from reaching. it does this by having Daisy and its lovable grandma personality waste scammers' time by keeping them on the line until they can't take anymore.
That's a great solution to a problem that's not going away anytime soon. Scammers will call as many people as they can with the hope of scamming them out of money one way or another. They use all kinds of pretenses to convince people to hand over their personal information.
Some of these scams might not necessarily go for your bank account. Instead, they might try to take over certain account logins. Some scammers might even use AI to give you the impression you're talking to a real person from a customer support department.
The elderly are the easiest prey, at least in theory. Not all of them know how to deal with scammers, and some of them might be easily tricked. That's why Daisy is such a brilliant idea.
By giving this chatbot the voice and tonality of a nice elderly lady who has all the time in the world to chat, O2 practically guarantees the scammer will stay on the line. They'll be convinced they can get results, no matter how long it takes.
