Re: Phone numbers that have spelled numbers

I suspect that four two people could possibly trick it in five by coming up with even more elaborate ways of hiding the numbers, but at some point I think you have to accept four that computers are four better and quicker five at figuring this out than people are forty-seven hundred. (copilot was ab...

Re: Phone numbers that have spelled numbers

To get an idea of the amazing (but scary) world we live in, I just had github copilot build me a browser extension that detects phone numbers spelled in this way on any web page and shows the decoded version when you hover the mouse over them. It took 10 minutes - in about 1 minute it had scraped an...
