Google might have faked its AI demo
 

And the moon landings never happened

The dark satanic rumour mill has manufactured a hell on earth yarn claiming that Google’s AI demo last week was a fake.

Google CEO Sundar Pichai’s unnerving demonstration of the company’s new virtual-assistant technology, Google Duplex, rattled the nerves of many people who worried about the implications of using AI tech.

It showed a very realistic sounding AI booking an appointment at the hairdresser for its owner with the person calling unaware it was chatting to a machine.

However, the Tame Apple Press smelt a rat. Although Google’s Assistant is light years ahead of Apple’s Siri, there is no way that the search engine outfit could beat Apple to that sort of technology because “Apple is best and others smell of Nintendo”.

At no point in Google’s conversations with the businesses did the employees who answered the phone ask for the phone number or other contact information from the A.I.

California requires both parties need to consent to a phone conversation to be legally recorded. This means that Google must have either done it all illegally or got the permission of the businesses before calling them for the demo.

Google isn’t saying and is refusing to name the companies it called.
