Da-da just got a very real-sounding call from a sweet-sounding robot female trying to sell Da-da an extended car warranty. The slight delay in response time gave it away... as did its responses. To verify its humanity, Da-da started asking the robot questions:
Da-da: "Are you a real human, or a robot?"These days, robots are people, too.
Robot: "I am a real human. If you'd like to take advantage of our..."
Da-da: "What's today's date?"
Robot: "I am a real human, but I'm only allowed to read an approved script."
Da-da: "What's the weather like where you are?"
Robot: "I'd have to refer you to a specialist to answer that question."
Da-da: "You mean a robot specialist?"
Robot: "I'd have to refer you to a specialist to answer that question."
Da-da: "Did you know that the kings of Peru were the Incas..."
Robot: "That is interesting..."
Da-da: "...but they got to be known as Big Drincas..."
Robot: "Yes. Shall I...?"
Da-da: "They worshipped the sun and had lots of fun..."
Robot: "Yes. I have an exciting..."
Da-da: "...but the peasants all thought they were Stincas."
Robot: "I'll transfer you to a specialist."
Da-da: "Of that, I have no doubt."
