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.

There is nothing inherent in this kind of service that prevents it from identifying itself as a bot, or whatever. I know Siri (for example) is a bot, even when Siri is pleasant to me. I think the presumption that the goal is deception is difficult to defend.

With respect, watch the demo. It was clearly intended to sound like a human rather than a bot with the "uh", "mm-hmm", and "um"'s thrown in.
