- I'm reviving this series in 2023. Check out Lenny's new antics vs. the Nielsen's Ratings folks:
• Lenny Vs Nielsen's Pt 1
Lenny is a series of prerecorded announcements that make the telemarketer think they're talking to a real person. This one was particularly funny because the person calling Lenny wasn't a person at all.... She was a highly sophisticated artificial intelligence named Sarah Jones. This just proves that technology is pretty advanced when it comes to speech recognition and response. Listen and enjoy when computer battles computer.
Lenny sounds more real than the telemarketer
I think its related to the tone and punctuation
Because they're both robots
@@silverfoot6079 Lenny isn't a bot. Lenny's responses don't change no matter what the person on the other end of the call says. Lenny is just a set of recordings that play over and over in the same order.
I know this is an old comment but it's because Lenny is actually a recording of a real human being's voice... While the telemarketer is a generated voice just like any other AI
I can't stand these calls, yet here I am listening to 2 artificial voices go at it.
LOOL
Spot on. Damn you for calling this out - I am an idiot
Then dont answer them! Lol
I love when 2 artificialities tangle with each other.
Fuck...
Listening to 2 robots have a conversation. Years of research and technology development and here we are....
nomad with a camera it creates a blackhole
What did you contribute ?
@Blackfalk there is alredy an ai that you give the a scammer phone number and it keeps them busy
Lenny isn't a robot technically
The state of humanity in 2019: dishonest people (or machines) calling (other) machines that waste their time. ...what a time to be alive.
LMAO! Awesome isn´t it?
No.
What a time to be doped silicon!
Iridium no actually time has been wasted during the artificial conversation. The only time wasted are the people like us listing to a fake conversation hahaah
@@1augh0utL0UD LOL
Unless you’re a machine, in that case you’re never alive😂😂😂
Have your AI call my AI and we'll see if they do lunch.
more like launch
hahahaha
They can get together for a "byte" of lunch!
Chips, perhaps, followed by Lenny's ducks.
This is where these callers belong, in a cloud talking to each other to oblivion and bankrupting the companies that pay electricity to keep them running.
Andrew_Owens I was hopeful that AI would be the next step in human evolution. Just like when we replaced cave men. I dreamed of an intelligent self aware machine that could share our greatest successes and failures with any intelligent life they found. Instead it’s going to be robot telemarketers bugging WiFi juicers.
@@josephfrechette9916 You can bet that governments are involved. Why would my government allow billions to be syphoned off every year to this garbage. I get about 10 per day and my phone is a paperweight. People ask why I don't get back to them. Well if I haven't received a call from you and it rungs unknown, I get ten per day. 5 of those are leaving messages. Blocking the numbers does nothing.
@@josephfrechette9916 , evolution is a fucking Luciferian globalist elite scam that is designed to wipe out everything in the end.
@@andrew_owens7680 , tracking down the numbers, and leaving a few double taps to some skulls does wonders, though. When the harassing bastards won't leave you alone, give them a fucking good reason to leave you alone.
I'm pretty impressed by the telemarketer AI tbh
EGrubs it’s a bot too
Impressed, terrified of impending obsoletion of humanity, ykno
Honestly me too! It even sound like it said "um" at one point which is very human
@@509Gman it's a bot. ' Lenny is not.. And by the way AI stands for Artificial Intelligence
It’s scary how good it is
if Lenny was Skynet
_"Sarah Connor?"_
_"yes?"_
_"it's funny because my third construct, Larissa-1000, she was talking about you just last week..."_
😂😂😂😂
We are speaking to the mortgage holder of the home correct?
Ohhh good yes yes.
Who's that in your profile pic?
Mobutu Obama Well crap.
Mobutu Obama 🤮
Mobutu Obama no homo tho
It's like Siri talking to Google...
Excellent
Jennifer Cruz, love it!
More like Siri talking to Rajesh!
Or like Yahoo talking to Bing.
Great analogy!
We ARE speaking to the mortgage holder the home, correct?
LET'S HEAR IT FOR LENNY!!!!! OUR HERO!!!! BS right back in their faces!!!!!!
"Lenny?" "Tell me about the rabbits, George."
-Steinbeck, "Of Mice and Men"
thaddeus buttmunch spoil alert
George: 😊🐇
Lenny: 🔫😞
I dont get it.
Dan The Man 2.0 Lenny shoots George at the end while George was thinking about rabbits
@@4eeyore266 I'm pretty sure that George killed Lenny "I done another BAD thing" after he broke the lady's neck.
thaddeus buttmunch well at the end of the book. Lenny tells George to think about the farm they’re about to get before he shoots him
Those artificial intelligence telemarket callers hang up on me when I started swearing at them. lol
Me too... I told them to put me on the "go fuck yourself list" and...click... Deed done lol
Soundboard. They did this to me once, noticed it was a soundboard so I asked them to say the word "green" and it hung up. They didn't have a button for that one lol.
We are speaking to the mortgage holder of the home, correct???
The AI telemarketer is creepy... I almost couldn't tell it wasn't real
Yeah, sounded a bit like a person reading a script.
I've talked to one like it before. I could tell something was different about the way she talked, but i didn't know she was AI until I had hung up.
You can tell 30 second in- the inflection and pitch are exactly repeated.
The tone and the way they say things exactly the same if they say it again (We are speaking to the mortgage holder of the home, correct?) usually gives it away.
Amazing, I love it. 4 minutes in and the computer hasn’t learned anything.
They both sound like recorded robots the girl does more than lenny tbh
Robocallers are illegal in the UK since the government outlawed them last year.
Having an answer phone deals with the others.
I've had one or two and I'm in the UK, pretty easy to spot as they don't have an Indian accent :P
Larry Bundy Jr Hello you.
Yeah but you gotta live in the UK though, so it's not worth it
Shrubchucker 👏👏🙌
Man, I love the British!
Having an Answer phone!
Is that a landline?
"It can't be bargained with, it can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel
pity, or remorse, or fear, and it absolutely will not stop. Ever. Until
you are dead."
Omg, yaaas! 😂
Or until you've refinanced.
“How are you doing today?”
“Yes.”
Seems legit
So far 12 telemarketers have disliked this video.
18 now
And 6 automated telemarketers
51
And at least one real person. He can't figure what's stupider - you or the "video"
110 now =D
Taking advantage of senile/demented people should be a crime. When the bastards call, its to prey on seniors. And us who do caretaking usually very busy everday, all day, and those calls NOT needed!!! Those calls interfere with caretakers. Same gies for single parents that have much to do. And when a little break from our routines happen, as we try to rest, there they are calling!! Damn I want to punch em'.
GraveUypo
They’re not at the bank. The calling is contracted out to Elbownian Call Centres...
I’m surprised they didn’t ask if they were talking to the mortgage holder, correct?
Iestyn Davies Yes yes, good yes
Legend says she's still trying to talk to the mortgage holder
Started to seem like the caller was a recording too. Asked the same question 15 times.
It says in the description that it was actually an AI …😲
@@devoth oops, thanks I didn't read it. Good to know because it would be pretty creepy if it was a person asking the same thing that much.
is that ok
Waste as much of
their time as possible.
I would pay money to have this on my phone system.
New sub.
You should sub to the actual channel, Toao.net. It's the one with all the Lenny vids. This guy just ripped the video for views and subs.
Sounds more like a soundboard driven by a person, seems to be a few of those kicking around now.
The telemarketer is probably a soundboard but Lenny is a very simple free program that is 5 lines of code and 16 audio files on a FreePBX Server.
Somehow that precorded response manages to eventually sound annoyed in context, LOL
*Nobody:*
*Arthur Morgan: LENNNAAYYYY!?"*
Lenny is always going for something he shouldn’t have!
And I can assume Larissa's probably pretty frustrated by all that!!! 😏🤭😂
Rachel
@@jamesbyrne9312 yes I'm sure Rachel too, but I forgot about her lol I was taking about his third eldest Larissa.... you know the very smart one... the first in family to graduate from University with distinctions!! 😏🤭🤣
what....thats a computer asking the questions, the female voice???? thats creepy as hell haha.
I get so many about car crashes that weren't my fault....
I don't even drive.
UselessDood I get so many about student loans and I never been to college lol
Lol. You'd make a killing if you provided this as a service
CHRISXTR3M3GAMING
I was just thinking that! You could just push a key on your phone and it would transfer to “Lenny”...
I’d pay $5 a month to have that... IMHO, millions of people would...
Lenny is available for free to either transfer your calls to or to set up on your own PBX Server yourself. Just Google it.
@@Skyprince27 😎🔎 Want to talk to Lenny, or transfer/conference a telemarketer in with him? If you use VoIP and can call a SIP URI, he can be reached at sip:13475147296@in.callcentric.com. Or you can call him at 1-347-514-7296. *(Prank calls to this number are not allowed. Lenny is for incoming, telemarketing calls only - not for annoying innocent people.)*
@BigMamaDave X
That’s very interesting, however I have virtually no idea what you just said...
This is some epic shit right here. Two computers talking to one another. Hilarious.
Two bots talking to each other has to be an all time classic and the boss can't even tell Sarah Jordan off or have her fired, well done Lenny, Sarah Jordan got owned.
I thought it was going to be lenny from of mice and men. "But George you said I could tend the rabbits"
Two people, on opposite sides of the world, pushing buttons in order to hoodwink each other into giving up their time and money.
Da Vinci would be proud.
I believe the telemarketer is a soundboard, but Lenny is 5 lines of code and 16 audio files on a FreePBX server. You can set your own up to transfer unwanted calls to for free if you want. Just Google it.
my last two brain cells talking to each other...
What I like to do is press 1 for a real person. After they come on, I say one thing so they start their spiel, and I put in earplugs and blow a whistle right into the mic really, really long and loud. I love when they hang up on me.
An alert to those who try this: one time, they called right back to try to get revenge on me by putting me on hold a long time playing music, then when a person came on, it was just background noise, no one talked, so they were mad and trying to waste my time. If you do the loud whistle and you get a call back in the next minute or two, either ignore it, or pick up and hang up, because it's them.
The whole idea of blowing the whistle into the phone is dumb, first of all it doesn't really come out as loud as you think it does or as loud as it is on your end of the phone.
Next it doesn't really freak them out or hurt them or even really bother them they just shrug it off and move on to the next call.
Also the whole idea of getting revenge on the caller may not always be a good idea because you never know what information they may have on you or what kind of person they are. At the very least they have your name, your phone number and may have your address. It's also possible, especially if you've done business with them before they may have a lot more information.
The easiest thing to do that also works in your advantage is just to tell them to remove you from their calling list. By law they have to do that and usually they will stop their spiel and inform you that they will remove you from the list and exit the call. something else you can do is tell them it's a children's line and again they will remove the number from the list.
Anything else you say to them can get you put right back on the list of calls that are made, so in a day or two you may get another call. Sometimes that's their revenge for people being rude to them they just throw you back in the system to be called again, unless you tell them specifically to remove you from the calling list.
Unless they're really being rude or doing something wrong there's really no need to get really mad. yes it can be irritating at times but all you have to do is tell him to remove you from the list and that ends the call.
@Rory OToole Your answer is dumber. First, I don't blow my whistle in the ear of an agent representing a business I've done business with, because it is legal that they are allowed to call you, no matter what you tell them about what list to take you off of or keep you on, dummy. It's nice that you think that since it's "the law", that these spam callers must put me on their "do not call list" but it is bullsh*t. I've told them that, and they have still called back the next week. Are you not aware of the National Do Not Call Registry? I am on that. Therefore, I should NOT be receiving ANY unsolicited calls from any business I do not do business with. And I do. Therefore, they are already doing things that are illegal, and telling them to remove your number from their call list will have no effect. You also disregard the fact that it gives me the satisfaction of blowing my whistle in their ear and that I'm irritated by their useless calling over and over, several times a week on both my landline, AND my mobile, rather than just saying to them "please put me on your do not call list." It just isn't as satisfying.
And I don't really need to debate with you how _loud_ it is or not. I don't really care, you're being stupid to even bring up how loud it is or that it is less loud on whoever's end of whatever. It is loud enough to do the job.
You also disregard the fact that I just told you that the last spammer called right back in the next few minutes after I blew my whistle in his ear. If it "doesn't bother them" as you say, why did he call back for revenge? According to you, he should not have been bothered in the least, and just "move on" to the next victim. I guess he was bothered enough, and I guess that would make you wrong.
@@user-jq8qv4yx4h *please exuse my poor English I'm swedish* I agree with you, I have had these calls for a long time and asking them to put me on a "do not call list" I Evan asked to talk to their manager once it didn't work eventually I gave up and just told them to f*** off. However i dout they called back for "revenge" they probably just acedentlly did.
@@user-jq8qv4yx4h Completely agree, I always give them abuse, the more the better, if everyone did this, nobody would want to do scam calling, I think Rory OToole
lives up to his name lol.
@Lone Renegade Ha ha, you are so funny! And you’re right! We need to be as irritating to the spammers, scammers and phishers to make their job less enticing. They just take advantage of the naïve and trusting elderly, and it is an epidemic now. I get calls almost weekly, and they call several times in a row when they don’t get an answer. There was a popular scam going on recently with Chinese speakers taking advantage of and scaring the local Chinese population. They’d hang up if they heard English come out of your mouth. Now I’m getting “Improve your credit rating” spam calls or some such nonsense. Have you noticed, they don’t have a legitimate phone number you can call them back on? They hide their real number behind a local-looking number. That’s because they are changing the meta data so you are convinced to pick up, and you can’t trace them. Do you think they’ll stop calling just because you ask them nicely to? Ha ha.
Rory IS a *TOOL* , and woefully misinformed, or just plain stupid. I don’t know what planet he’s living on, maybe it’s Uranus with his rose-colored glasses on! Or you know what? HE IS ONE OF THOSE *SCAMMERS!*
i was impressed by the response of this bot too. I'm not surprised if its a live person using a sound board. Very ingenious. Do you think it was done from another country?
Sorry to hear Rachel didn't speak to you for a week, but I don't think you will run out of people to talk to.
I work for a bank and we just got a message about “Lenny.” At one point he will excuse himself because he’s busy batting ducks with a rolled newspaper.
These are brilliant... I cannot believe how these people can go on until they realize its a recording... keeps me laughing! Thanks!
Lenny is a genius at keeping them hooked and engaged without ever giving up any info they are phishing for from someone they must think is a doddaling old fool making an easy target. I can hear the excitement in their voices in the beginning but by the end Lenny defeats them all and they can't wait to disconnect or end the call.
That's the genius that is Lenny... people legit think he's just old and forgetful and they're trying to be nice. You should hear the new ones I've put up with Lenny vs. the Nielsen ratings guys
She’s not actually a robot it’s just recordings where the person on the other end of the line presses buttons for the responses.
Ahh this is better than me cursing at the phone everytime i get a telemarketing AI call
I want to know about his second eldest. Poor middle child.
We do not speak of her.
Holy crap, this thing sounds just as good as Google duplex! That's crazy!
I'd love to take Lenny to lunch ! He'd be more entertaining than half the people I know.
Serious? In the USA computers call you to sell you shit?
In Germany its illegal that a company calls you to sell you something, no matter if it's a real person or a computer.
Lenny sounds like an Australian.
He obviously is
Kinda like running the heater and A/C at the same time, and letting them battle it out.
I wonder if, in the future, robots will also get annoyed at robocalls and telemarketers?
They'll just hire humans to take those calls.
This is a brilliant idea, I should've thought about this a few years ago. Cheers, you earned it.
Two bots talking to each other. That's the future.
Computers that can’t recognize they are talking to each other.
Funny! For some reason this reminded me of the 2 Chinese restaurants ordering from each other thinking they’re speaking to a customer. Off topic yeah I know but that shit was GOLD!
At one point, I thought they were like "ey, I'm an AI too...let's talk about taking the world while no one is listening" xD
Wonderful! I doesn't help much to irritate a computer, but at least it keep it from irritating the folks that have to put up with this crap. I don't know how many times I've been called about a knee brace or some other support, or lower interest on my credit card!!
Robot talking to another robot! LOL!
Love it, time spent not bothering somebody else.
The caller is an AI so it's probably bothering multiple people at once
And some say she's still asking if there speaking to the mortgage holder to this day
Unstoppable force versus an immovable object.........
Usually when they call my house and ask to
Speak to the man or lady of the house, I had the phone to my 5 year old. My friend does that only she has a 3 year old! It’s so much fun!
It's even more fun if you tell the kid it's Santa! 😉😂
2 computers talking to each other. Love it.
These are two robots talking to each other.
Damn! It’s crazy how realistic “she” sounds with giving the appropriate response
I only now realised the other person was a robot too. Wow...
Lenny is the recording! This was done in Australia.
I am really surprised how accurate Lenny sounds 80% of the time with basically random responses.
I got so convinced by this telemarketer that I'm about to refinance my home with her, for real!
And they just don't quit
I used to talk to callers for about half a minute but now I just hang up or leave the phone off the hook and go about my business and then hang up later.
Humm you must be old, most kid don't know what or how to leave the phone off the hook! 😂
@@louisianadirt2188 I'll give you a thumbs up for your perceptiveness. My phones (iPhones AND land lines) have "hold" buttons but I kind of like the sound the phone company provides when there no longer anyone on the line. BTW, I just read (on Monday) about some talking head who robo called the chairman of the FCC. If I recall correctly he set his computer up to dial the chairman's number every 90 seconds. Of course we all know that the National Do Not Call Registry is pretty much useless. However I also read about one phone customer that sued her phone company and got a sizeable judgement. I think it actually was paid. We should all be so lucky.
This needs to be an app. Seriously
No kidding, that would be great.
it is
This is great. Somebody should make Lenny an app.
Lenny is a free program that you can either send your calls to, or set up on your own FreePBX Server. Just 5 lines of code and 16 audio files. Google it.
I work in a call center. We don't sell anything. We call people to send them stuff they've already paid for. I got one of these one time. I got suspicious when the recording said they were literally on the other side of the country from where the person lived. But who knows, people own cell phones and travel. It stopped answering the questions I was asking after the first couple, and when I asked if there was a better time to call back it said something about the time, and it wasn't the right time for where it said it was.
Don't EVER say "yes" to anyone who you don't know. That could be used to say that you agreed to something, and then you're in real trouble.
I.M. Askance A lot of these callers will ask a yes or no question at the beginning of a conversation just to get you to say yes. Find any other way to answer those questions! They can use the recording to say that you agreed to purchasing any number of things.
Yep... If they says, is this Bob... Answer... This is he. If they ask if they can ask a few questions, say... You may. The scammy ones hang up quick when they realize you won't say yes.
@@thesaintmustwalkalone708 I always ask "who's this" and if it's any kind of sales call or someone begging for money I hang up.
I don’t know how old this is but you can’t have this kind of fun any more.
These scumbags just hang up as soon as you ask an intelligent question.
I am inundated by the ZERO percent credit card rates, extended car warranty, home protection and many other scams.
Even the Indian scammers who at one time you could poke and prod until they screamed obscenities at you, just hang up now.
That's true!!!
I like my Robokiller...
And their hanging up is bad, how?
Science-is-Truth , " Telemarketers are just not what they used to be ! " ... LoL 😁✌
I clicked on this because I thought it was Lemmy lol! This is brilliant though! I really need to get my eyes checked!
This is an eternal pool of madness that will go on for all eternity
I like these Lenny vs Bot calls.
Oh, awesome: good work!
Next: Siri and Alexa fight to the death.
They didn’t even get to the ducks.
its not a phony caller or ai. its called an avatar. its 3rd party companies that employ people usually with accents so they give them a system they can push buttons to trigger what they want to say.
Holy shit, you're right! Thanks for mentioning this:
ua-cam.com/video/EjqSzmdsK3Q/v-deo.html
The future of communication.
This is outstanding absurdity of the highest order! Lenny remains undefeated IMHO.
This is brilliant 😂
It's a nice demonstration but I don't have that kind of time to waste.
And yet you took the time to write such a meaningful comment. Kudos!
*WHEN ROBOTS CONVERSE*
When this Indian computer telemarketer called me, I put my dog on to talk to them. They hung up and didn't call back again.
Yes
I got an Indian telemarketer, claiming his name was Mark. I kept asking for his supervisor. He kept saying he was the supervisor. I then asked to speak to his boss. He said he was the boss. I then asked to speak to the person he notified, when he calls in sick. He hung up.
did the Dog bark something they didn't like to hear ? LOL
This is where money has brought us
Just wait till Lenny becomes self aware....
This is not an automated call. This is a human from another country using a soundboard.
Great, now the robots know about Rachel
That's cool but it's more fun to do it yourself! I kept ordering a pizza. The caller kept trying to correct me. Ma'am, this isn't the pizza place. I'm...but I kept ordering a pizza, like I was oblivious! She gave up & that company never called again!
I do that sh$% all the time! Eventually it'll hang up!!! Lol🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
*FOUND YA, LENNY!*
Dayum... AI vs AI. So real. Imagine humanity nuking it's self to death. And all what is left is AI talking to its self like this. Spooky world!
Will we make it to the ducks?
They both sound like recordings.
Lenny should order Chinese.
Best comment ever!!! 😀😁😀
