I recently received a call from "A Computer" with some recorded sales
pitch on it with pauses for me to respond with answers to questions.
During the first pause I started to explain that I thought companies
that used automatic dialers to drum up business were scum and I
wouldn't buy anything from them if they were the last on earth, etc.
when suddenly the thing hangs up on me.  It was evidently being
monitored by a real person (either that or AI is more advanced than
I thought :-).  But then why play the "computer" tape at all?
