Thirty years ago, when there was an avalanche of e -mail on the horizon, I suggested that in any commercial e -electronic letter there is $ in the topic line.

I regularly receive texts from people who pretend that they know me, or I sell something. They decided that the knowledge of someone’s contact information is the same as to have the right to steal their attention. If they were honest, we could make our own choice. When our first interaction shows that you are a liar, it is difficult to imagine that it comes well from there.
Bruce Schneier has an insightful sentence: AI -generated voices should sound like robots (I’m not sure that his method chooses, but the idea is really smart). A strange valley is real – and when a computer sounds like a friendly person, we create disappointment and confusion, when it turns out that this is not so. A pleasant robot is still a robot, and we can answer accordingly.
