Yup. AI spam calls generally hang up within 3 seconds if they don't hear a voice on the other end. It's when they detect a voice that the auto dialer connects you with the scammer.
Meanwhile 99% of the people I want to talk to are contacts in my phone or businesses with caller id.
I don't answer calls from random numbers anyways so it's largely irrelevant unless I'm expecting calls for some reason.
And that's why I don't feel too bad moving on to the next. If I'm calling someone, they had to have called me at least once already. If they're too lazy to save the number and want to play silly games, I have better uses of my time. I was just curious of the thought process.
I just hang up as soon as I hear that little "bloop" sound and that cuts out 90% of them.
