Google Duplex is only available in the US, that is less than 5% of the population. HN is a global community - it is entirely believable that GP is unable to use this service that, after a year, is not available outside the US market.

Also, please do not accuse people of being trolls. It is against the site guidelines and is not constructive discourse.

They didn't say "it isn't available to me". They said it was "BS" - that is, that it was a lie and isn't a real service. They could have easily verified for themselves this isn't true. They could have even read the linked article which specifically mentions that Duplex did in fact come out.

a) Their comments indicate otherwise. b) They could say that then. Instead they are blaming Google for more or less lying about Duplex, which is quite disrespectful to the people who have actually worked on it. c) If they had expressed disappointment about the service having limited availability, I'd not be here making this point.
