Artificial intelligence is everywhere these days, even the North Pole. In the past, kids had to write letters to Santa Claus or wait in line at the mall to have the chance to tell him what they want for Christmas, but not anymore. Now they can get a “real call” from him, all thanks to AI.
“Watch children’s faces light up as Santa knows their name, wishes, and favorite things in a one-on-one conversation they’ll never forget,” the AI-powered company, SantaPhoneCalls.com, explains on its website. They offer several options for talking to St. Nick:
- For $9.95, kids get a one-time call from Santa
- For $14.95, they can talk to him for five minutes and get a recording of the conversation to “relive the magic and cherished memories of this moment for years to come.”
- And for $19.95, the entire family gets a one-time personalized call from Santa.
Once parents decide which one they want, they can share the details that personalize the Santa call. While the cost may seem high, SantaPhoneCalls.com doesn’t just use pre-recorded audio for the chat, they use generative AI to mimic a real conversation. No word on whether kids can work their way from the naughty list to the nice one during the call, but it’s worth a shot.
