In the past two days alone, I’ve gotten over 20 spam calls with none of them leaving a message. Just 3/4 seconds of silence on my voice mail. One call the other day left a 22 second blank message.

My Google Pixel uses AI to answer the call in the background, and will automatically report as spam and block these calls. I haven’t gotten a spam call in over a year
I work for a mental health research study and often have to warm call people who expressed interest to book them in for a screening with us.
Finally encountered a Google AI response the other week and got scared and confused so I just hung up and sent an email 🥲
Hmm - I have a Pixel as well. I’ve been blocking / reporting but they seem to come from tons of different phone numbers. And for some reason the Pixel lets them leave a voice mail if they’re blocked / known spam.
I’ve had Pixels for years and the call screener is my favorite feature. It confuses so many people.
As a researcher who often has to follow up participants damnnnn yooouuuu 😭 /lh I never know what to say to those things
The voice is very similar to mine, which really trips people up when I use it lol
I gotta get a pixel
Uh… does your phone still ring, or does it literally answer the call and the robot voice takes over. In both cases, I find that freaky
It answers the call behind the scenes without you needing to hear or listen. It pops up a notification saying that the call is ongoing with the screening AI, and you have an option to immediately stop the call or to pick it up. It also records a transcript of the call for you to listen to afterwards. It also doesn’t screen every call, if it’s a number in your contacts it lets it through to you as normal.
(I still find that really freaky, but appreciate the answer)
