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.

She's saying that if people associate the fake voice with deception—if the tool itself is seen as a scam, a hoax, a trick, something cruel—then that reputation will also smear the people who use it. So if you use the tool, you'll be seen as a conman who lies.

The biggest issue I have with it is that PRETENDS to be a human. There's nothing wrong with a robot speaking fluently, but wasting time with synthetic disfluencies and human idiosyncrasies doesn't help anyone and doesn't serve any purpose but to be deceptive.
