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.
That's not how the process should work. Privacy and social implication people should be leading stuff, and the demos should discourage gawking at unconsidered tech just plopped out like that. Too far into all this, and too powerful, to be elephant in china shop.

I read somewhere that they actually do inform the person they’re calling that it’s a robot, but that they left out that part for dramatic effect in the demo. Not sure where though

Need to change what we cheer, how things get released... The "ooh, this is cool" has driven too much product. The results aren't good.
