    Uses AI to analyse the conversation? Does that mean it records all your calls?

    The problem is that AI will be fighting AI, as the scam blocker blocks certain responses and then the scammers AI
    finds new key words to allow the call through.

    I had one of those little white boxes from Ebay for £20/£25? And it cut all the spam/scam calls from daily to
    just one or maybe 2 a year with most years being no scam calls.

    Censorship Reigns Supreme in Troll City...

  • I've been using the service now and so far so good. I asked about this. They said the system detects if the caller is an AI with 100% accuracy so thats food to know. Ive read alot about new AI scams.
