Kids are now conversing with AI-powered Santa Claus over the phone: Big tech is revolutionizing Christmas

It’s a Christmas miracle — children can now receive phone calls from Santa Claus himself this holiday season.

While kids of yesteryear could only imagine a conversation with St. Nick, artificial intelligence is changing the way that youngsters now experience the festive season.

Children can now pen wishlists to send to the North Pole, before Santa will contact them via a “real call.”

“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, proclaims on its website.

For $9.95, children receive a one-time call from Santa and for $14.95, kids can chat with him for five minutes and receive a recording to “relive the magic and cherished memories of this moment for years to come.”

For $19.95, the whole family receives a one-time personalized call from the North Pole.

After deciding which package to purchase, parents can then fill in details that personalizes the message from Santa.

The service does not utilize pre-recorded audio and instead uses generative AI to mimic real conversations, per Jam Press.

“By leveraging cutting-edge AI and natural language processing, we’ve created a virtual Santa that can interact with children over the phone in a truly personalized way,” Brendan Smith, the co-founder of SantaPhoneCalls.com, told EIN Presswire, as reported by KXAN.

He called the service “a very special holiday gift” for the whole family so that everyone can “experience the magic of Santa.”

“Our aim is to bring the magic of the North Pole directly to families worldwide,” he added.

This isn’t the first time Santa’s job has been co-opted by artificial intelligence.

Last year, the AI-powered automated card service Handwrytten debuted a version of their service dedicated to writing personalized letters from Mr. Claus himself, which would then be delivered peppermint-scented with a return address of 123 Elf Road, North Pole, 88888.

There have also been NSFW chatbots that pose as Kris Kringle to flirt with the people who are likely on his naughty list via the app Bloom.
