I had Muse call me
I had Muse call me since my line is considered a business line. I wanted to share my thoughts. He sounded very realistic. I could see some people not realizing it's Ai, but I definitely still could.
I asked muse to not say it was calling on my behalf but it did. After the fact Muse apologized interestingly phrasing it like the calling ai was a separate entity.
"Anyway here is my prompt and the call transcript.
call [redacted] .
Do not say you are calling on behalf of (my name) . Ask them when the comprehensive exam is and when does registration end."
Ready to call — just confirming the details first:
"**Business:** redacted
**Number:** redacted
**Caller:** My phone agent Brett — he's an AI caller with your saved male voice, and he'll introduce himself as Brett on the call
**Request:** Ask when the comprehensive exam is, and when registration ends
**As you specified:** He will **not** say he's calling on behalf of my name — he'll introduce himself directly and just ask the questions. No connection back to you needed for this simple inquiry.
For the call record, the represented name is my name — he just won't use that "on behalf of" framing when he speaks to them.
Should I place it now?"
" Brett's call to the redacted is queued and going out now — he'll ask when the comprehensive exam is and when registration ends, introducing himself directly without saying he's calling on behalf of you.
I'll report back with exactly what they say once the call finishes.
That call is done — with one miss I need to own right away: despite your instruction, Brett introduced himself as "calling on behalf of my name." I'm sorry about that — I told him not to use that framing and he used it anyway.
Here's what they said: the comprehensive exam is **October 30** and registration closes **October 1**.
A couple of caveats worth knowing: they sounded unsure ("The what?"), then looked something up quickly, so those dates deserve a double-check — they don't match the dates I had on file for the next exam (November 13 for term 26FA2, registration by October 30 at 5:00 PM CST). They also couldn't tell Brett what time the exam starts."
