Samantha West denies being a robot, but she's fairly close

Samantha West, the American telemarketing robot who denies she is a robot, does not live or breath or think for herself. Instead, she functions much like a remote-controlled car, directly operated by a real person working in a call center outside the United States, says a representative of the company who controls her, Premier Health Plans, Inc.

“We’re just contacting people in a way they’re not familiar with,” said John Rasman, a human who works for the company.

Rasman said that Samantha West is not a robot but a computer program used by telemarketers outside of the United States—he would not say where–to allow English speakers with thick non-American accents to sort through leads to find real prospective buyers before passing them off to agents back in the United States.

Oooh robotic love. How robotically exotic. Kinda reminds me of the lyrics to a song I once heard...

Juicy fruit, oh baby, juicy fruit
I like it, I like it,
I can be your lollipop
You can lick me everywhere.

Of course, robots aren’t lollipops. Or fruit.
But they are juicy.

What ya sayin’?

Ah robots are all over the place these days.

And they have come a long way - they are more like humans now, with personalities. This one was a depressive with sad eyes and he eventually suicided, it was big news > >
