And then one day instead of those bots talking through natural language we can have them talking to each other by modulating and demodulating the sounds to create ones and zeros. Maybe even call them MO-DEM bots. And then one day we can make those modems faster and faster, and have those bots communicate using a standard protocol ;)
Amount of compute power wasted for an AI bot to AI bot voice conversation to make a reservations somewhere boggles my mind.
... agreed, only it doesn't boggle my mind as much as the fact that human beings get employed full-time to sit near a phone and do this entirely-automatable task every day.
The ultimate inefficient API.
That’s unlikely. If they had claimed their business and had an active Google Maps account, the request would come to their email for now, and Google will probably develop an integration to their Point-of-Sale software, or surface their OpenTable link.
