Apologies for the delay, I haven't seen this until now and I can't find a way for HN to notify me on replies to my comments. For the prompting to avoid "AI look and feel", I was just insistent and turned down a lot of in

Here's what has worked for me (in the US), after feeling helpless for so long: Call Screening. I had no idea this existed on iOS (there may be an equivalent on Android), and I was very skeptical about it, but it has turned spam calls i
