I don't think you can waste the time of an automated computer program
The other day I was having a bad day and had a call from an unknown number, so I decided to pick up but let them talk first. They just hang up and have not called again.
I don't think it was a good idea to pick up in the first place, but it was curious in the end.
Iirc, that's usually a sign that the robot caller has found a machine on the other end, since most people first respond with some sort of greeting right off the bat.
