Nice to see more white folks in ads.  And they have five fingers.

How in the world are we going to avoid being scammed when we're old?
AI will pretend to be your children, and you'll see and hear them.

I already get phone calls from grandkids I never had. Always looking for bail money.

I don't but I also don't answer any calls that don't come from my contact list. I have no tolerance for spammers and scammers. |

I installed an app on my phone which automatically blocks numbers which were reported by others as spammers/telemarketing/scammers/etc.
After every call to or from a number which is not on my contact list, I have the option to rate it whether it is legit, or one of the above.

When a scammer calls, just tell them to hold on a sec while you find your wallet, and set the phone down until they give up. That creates a just a little friction in that system.

I hear that there's a feature called Caller ID I never pay for. Not sure how it even works without a display.
They work from a script, and so I find entertainment in testing their responses. If I don't have time for it I say "You woke me from a sound sleep. What do I do now?" and hang up.

Caller ID comes free with this thing called a cellular phone. Cellular phones are new technology that allows you to take your phone with you anywhere and cost less than the old technology phones that plug into your wall.
