Google's Duplex is Rolling Out To Small Group Of Pixel Owners (venturebeat.com) 7
Google Duplex-powered calls have finally arrived. Sort of. For some people. From a report: A spokesperson confirmed to VentureBeat that Duplex -- Google's artificially intelligent chat agent that can arrange appointments over the phone -- has expanded from a "set of trusted tester users" earlier this year to a "small group" of Google Pixel phone owners, who can now use Duplex via the Google Assistant to secure restaurant reservations in "select cities." Presumably, "select cities" refers to the previously announced pilot metros of New York, Atlanta, Phoenix, and San Francisco. If you're not in the "trusted tester" group, you'll likely get an error along the lines of "Sorry, I can't call to make reservations for you yet, but here's their phone number: [10 digits]."

I don't know about other people, but I've been receiving marketing calls that all sound exactly the same as duplex, with the ums and uhs just like the demo. When asking any questions such as "where are you calling from?" Or "how's the weather over there?" there's a long pause and then a response. Ask again and the same calm thing comes up and says they're getting a manager.
