Google Assistant making calls pretending to be human not only without disclosing that it's a bot, but adding "ummm" and "aaah" to deceive the human on the other end with the room cheering it... horrifying. Silicon Valley is ethically lost, rudderless and has not learned a thing.

Many reasonable uses for synthetic voices, with disinfluencers to normalize it even, as replacement or as extension, sure. Start it off the wrong foot—it gets perceived as attached to deception and is cheered on wildly as such—you lose possibilities. The room should have gasped.

Really, great point! I agree.

I don’t think its slippery or a slope. If the prosthetic is a thought or text to voice vs. an agent acting of its own accord. If it’is just a sound generated by a human then no disclosure necessary - but if it is a separate entity acting on behalf of the human then yes disclose
