I Tested the AI That Calls Your Elderly Parents If You Can't Be Bothered

a year ago

An AI startup offers a service called inTouch to call elderly parents on behalf of their children.
The service uses an AI-generated voice to converse with parents about their day, hobbies, and feelings.
After the call, an AI-generated summary is sent to the child, including the parent's mood (e.g., 'bad mood' or 'neutral mood').
The concept is criticized as dystopian and non-human, but the creator argues it helps maintain contact and ensure safety.
