There are good, honest use-cases for this technology though: for example a food ordering platform that needs to gather holiday openings hours for hundreds of thousands og restaurants globally. These restaurants are not tech-savvy: so the only alternative is using people to call them.

I don't disagree. I'm not condemning the whole product right now. I have only two primary worries:
1/ Huge increase in amount of robocall spam.
2/ Given the discussion on the Duplex HN thread, I'm starting to seriously worry people will try and do machine-to-machine communication through Duplex, which is something completely idiotic and wasteful, but might also become easier than doing the right thing (agreeing on an API).
