Called Walgreens a couple days back to order refills. Got to the "pharmacy" and a nice woman answered. Sweet voice, and so totally natural. Asked me if that was a "T" or "P" in my name. Better than talking to a human. Really. No accent or slurred speech etc. When picking up the RX, I asked the clerk if she knew about the AI voice. No idea but she was gonna call to check it out.
Way the world is going. I'm ++++ about it, as in this case it frees up the pharmacy to do their job rather than answering yada calls.
Of course the "bad" AI stuff is very worrisome. But there is good and bad in virtually ANYTHING in life.
