Like all things AI, this one's tricky.

Scam calls sounding "more legitimate" because it passes the (unfortunately racist) filters most people have.

In my case at least, (for support calls) it's not a "racist filter", it's that I sometimes simply cannot understand what they are saying.

I had a contractor group come highly recommended, but I literally had to focus so hard on each word that I couldn’t make it work. I don’t know where they were from but I heard easier to understand accents in Delhi.

I realized quickly how it was changing my thinking process to devote so much to each word.

Language fluency isn't racism.

Fluency is different from accent.
