Google just obliterated the worst kind of phone call

Google just killed the phone call. Well, at least a certain type. 

At its annual developer conference, Google I/O, Google CEO Sundar Pichai wowed those in attendance with a demonstration of Google Duplex, a chatty AI voice assistant that is able to make phone calls — and have full conversations — on your behalf.

Pichai announced the new feature Tuesday to a crowd of approximately 7,000 people at Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, California. People were, to put it mildly, impressed.
