Admittedly, this is pretty cool. But if I'm on the side of the small business owner, it feels pretty weird not being able to tell if I'm talking to a human or AI. Eventually I could see Google Duplex providing this service for the small businesses themselves. So then we have our personal AI assistant talking to business AI assistants, dictating where and when we get our hair cuts, eat our meals, go to the doctor, etc., with Google "monitoring every call for quality assurance." Will it make our lives easier? Probably. But is that really a world we want to live in?

I'm struggling to figure out if so many people actually have a problem calling businesses that Google has to create a bot for them.

Pros:

Cool concept

Cons:

Doesn't seem like it actually solves a problem people have?

The time and money this will save, the jobs will replace, the damage that can be done, and the good that can be done. This might be the greatest yet scariest thing I've ever witnessed.
Sounds pretty awesome! In typical Google fashion.
Wow, that demo is amazing... Superb stuff.
Restaurants can now expect a ton of calls. :)
Awesome stuff! Looking forward to seeing where else this goes. :)
Absolutely incredible ! Look forward to testing the demo in the future

I can now see a whole new genre of apps opening up - "Audio captcha" : Protecting people from AI calls
