I remember when jollyroger first announced its existence.  Now,  
many years later, it sounds like they have come a long way with  
many improvements.  They mention AI tech for their robots.  
Maybe now instead of standard pre-recorded robots, the robots  
adjust depending on what the caller says.

Dunno if it would be easy to detect scam calls. I still get  
pestering calls from POS (point of sales) companies that claim  
to offer better debit and credit card rates.  I get the  
occassional call claiming to be from google maps.  Both types  
of calls, although reasonably benign, are still annoying and  
time wasting.  Regarding the former, I think it would be  
ludicrous to follow through switching my current POS processor  
over to a new and totally unvetted company/person who needs my  
banking information inorder to "transfer" services and control  
to them.
