If someone puts me on with a voice AI i'm never talking to them again lol.

I put spam robocallers / scammers on the phone with voice AI all the time, after navigating their IVR and intentionally requesting to speak to a human scam-agent. This in no way deters them calling.

The fact that you answered and engaged means you’re more likely to get called again.

I think you're right about that.

...which might be exactly what they wanted in the first place.

if you receive an AI call, grab a pen and click it just before every word, be sure to delay cadence between words, to give the impression a mouse is being moved toward the next word to "click" on.
