Come to think about it, another colleague had a son and son's girlfriend who manned the chat lines - the sort where anything can be chatted about. The weird thing was, apparently, that it was marketed as a sex chat line, but a surprising number of 'regulars' called for a chat about the most mundane of things. It was human contact they sought.
I used to work with someone who had done sex phone line work (different job, we weren’t both on the lines!), and she said the same thing. It would’ve been around 2005, so well before AI, or even regular online chats were a thing. They had different scripts to read, depending on what the caller picked, but lots would call at the same time each day just to talk. Very bizarre all around.
