Two machines talk to one another

I'm sitting here farting around on the internet and my phone just rang. The caller ID listed "unknown name" and an 800 number, so I assumed it was a telemarketer and didn't pick up. The default greeting on the phone answered in an electronic voice, telling the caller that we're not here right now and to please leave a name and number. The "caller" was an automated message from AT&T advising me that I just requested paperless billing.

I just thought that was a little weird, two automated voices having a conversation.
