    Lol no, it was real. We just had an internal meeting tonight about the tech, etc. where they demoed duplex again. And also told how many real haircut appointments they had to book and attend during testing (:

      @Amazon, phone laws vary. In my home state, recording only requires the consent of one conversation participant. Why wouldn’t Google do this in a state where it’s legal, especially given their “smart lawyers”?

    Books an appointment without giving a callback number and the hair place doesn't announce who they are.

    I believe it was real in a sense that they probably coordinated with the person who will answer the phone - scripted conversation.

      So did they call the business without informing them they will talk to AI instead of human and also without consent for recording? Even if it is capable to pretend like real human, I am not sure if legal team would have given a go to show the demo in public.
