It can already be hard to tell whether a poster on social media is a person or a bot (though that’s partly because a lot of people give what are effectively preprogrammed responses to certain topics, and aren’t very good at sentences). Should there be a requirement that an AI announce itself as such when making a voice call?

When I get a call from a number I don’t recognize, if they don’t lead with, “I’m trying to reach Dan Thompson”, I sometimes just say something nonsensical like “Fnord” or “Goggelfishing”. If I don’t get a “What?” or “Excuse me?”, I know it’s a robocaller.

I had a call on my cell the other day in which what sounded like a recorded voice started speaking to me in Chinese.
