I'm working on exactly the opposite of this, I have a GPT-3 based bot hooked up to voice recognition and Coqui for TTS I'm training to bait scammers. It has memory like ChatGPT (but only the previous 50 things said). The delay/latency makes it tough to get the scammer to not hang up initially, but the ones that tolerate the slow responses are very easily fooled by the bot. I'm working on speeding it up more and adding stammering, ums and uhs, and background noises etc to fill the delay.

Maybe just pregenerate a couple opening lines that can be used as delaying tactics? "Hang on a sec, let me go somewhere quieter", "I'm driving, can you hold on a moment while I pull over?"
