Interesting.

I wonder if we can set it up so 2 AIs talk to each other and we collect the money.

Don't LLM have enough language samples already? Not like a (one-sided) phone call helps them less making things up.

At least people are getting paid somewhat for their data, instead of just being "compenstated" with access to a service of dubious quality

ONE participant of the phone call is getting paid. It's unclear if the other one is even being informed. Anyway apparently the app shut down today because of a huge data leak, but I haven't looked into the details.

I mean, they wanted to share the data with other companies, so it kind of works as suggested, but I think they didn't like the part of not getting paid to share it with the whole world. https://techcrunch.com/2025/09/25/viral-call-recording-app-neon-goes-dark-after-exposing-users-phone-numbers-call-recordings-and-transcripts/

So at least they're being honest about it and give kickbacks?

This is illegal in a lot of states

It only records your audio unless you are both consenting members… so no, not illegal at all.

Neon’s marketing claims to only record your side of the call unless it’s with another Neon user.

Maybe because more people have mobile phone than toilets. You can sell your voice while taking dump on the street.
