Will AI bots replace humans in the workforce? Could one replace Evan… right now? That’s what we tackle on this week’s Shell Game, in which Evan sees just how much of his job his voice agent can handle on his behalf. Shell Game is made by humans. More specifically, it's made by three humans: Evan Ratliff (host and writer), Sophie Bridges (producer), and Samantha Henig (executive producer). Visit shellgame.co to find out more and support the show. New episodes drop on Tuesdays. This is a public episode.

Hello?
Hello, it's Evan.
Hey, Evan, how's it going?
Hey, Mangesh.
I'm doing well, thanks.
How about you?
How's Lizzy doing?
Lizzy's doing great.
That's awesome to hear.
Hey, remember when we grabbed coffee last week?
It was fun catching up.
That's my voice agent.
Naturally.
Talking to Mangesh Chateaudur, a friend of mine who also runs a podcast company called Kaleidoscope.
And oh, that trip we took to New Orleans last fall was amazing, right?
Yeah, it was.
My AI wasn't calling Mangesh just to chit chat though.
It had business.
By the way, are you still interested in doing that podcast about AI we talked about?
I am very interested and I was.
