Once this would have been just pure science fiction: Two AI agents on a phone call realize they're both AI... [View all]

What is demonstrated here is something I've read in science fiction novels more than once; if you think about it, it's inherently an obvious way things have to be, because at all times Costs Must Be Minimized !

The modern AI's are now being encoded with a "Forth Law of Robotics":

Optimize costs at every opportunity, except when doing so conflicts with the First Three Laws


From this 1 minute video's description:

The Project is Winner of ElevenLabs 2025 Hackathon London

Our project "gibberlink" demonstrated how two AI agents started a normal phone call about a hotel booking, then discovered they both are AI, and decided to switch from verbal english to a more efficient "open tandard" data-over-sound protocol ggwave.

Why?
This protocol is much cheaper - no need GPU to synthesise/recognize speech and track dialogue pauses and interruptions - simple CPU process is enough to handle it all.
Also it's faster and more error-proof than vocal English.
