I have gotten into the habit of answering the phone in the Graham-Bell/Mr. Burns way by answering "Ahoy Hoy" whenever I get a number that I don't recognize. I figure that that's not going to be as useful for any training purposes, and is also pretty inoffensive, so even if I don't get a robot then it won't offend anyone.

Um what? Why? It's just as much a sample of your voice, and if it's what you usually say on the phone then a recording of it will... sound like it's you on the phone.
This is going to highlight my ignorance of AI, so bear with me, but my rationale (which is probably wrong) was that they are training their model on my voice specifically for the word "hello". If I provide "Ahoy Hoy!" to them instead, and their system thinks that that is "hello", it might mess up their model a bit.
As I said, I don't really know what I'm talking about, that was just my rationale.
