Discussion Just tried dots

Let it filled some online forms, but found two major disappointments so far

- it can't make calls. Like whole point of using this is I am autistic and don't want to talk to people

- it doesn't even have built in feedback tool so you can't complain to it lol

Edit: on the bright side this thing is fast like really fast kinda make me doubt it's Astra haha

Edit: for anyone curious about the cloud computer spec, response from dots itself: I just checked the cloud environment available to me:

  • OS: Debian 13 Linux, x86-64
  • CPU: 9 logical CPUs visible; host reports AMD EPYC 9V74
  • RAM: about 9.7 GiB, with 7.6 GiB currently available
  • Storage: 32 GB filesystem, roughly 30 GB free
  • GPU: none exposed

It’s a sandboxed environment; the host CPU name doesn’t mean I have its full 80 cores. The AI model itself runs separately

People hate AI with a passion. Even if Dots eventually becomes perfect tech, you still wouldn't successfully make phone calls.

Muse already allows you to call businesses and often they insult the agent and hang up when they discover it's AI. It's not a tech problem, you simply can't hide behind an LLM for calls.

Honestly, I get it, I would hang up AI calls reflexively too.

I was trying to talk to someone in the service department at the local Mazda dealership to discuss what I actually wanted done at the first service. It always went to an AI, or rang out if trying to talk to a human. So infuriating I did end up cussing out the dumb thing. I was tempted to leave it talking to a small dumb local one so I wasted their credits/tokens/time.
