*Afterthoughts & Addenda* *3 Point Emphasis* - 12:03 - ChatGPT loves to use lists of 3 items, groupings of 3 adjectives, sentences with 3 related clauses, groups of 3 paragraphs and so on, to make its point. If you look at the text example on screen there, you'll find examples of 3 different types of hat listed, or three advantages from using the device, etc.

I whole heartedly agree with the AI (or lack of) comments. So far, I've not seen any AI in use for the classic telephone-based scams. There's no need. It's a pure numbers game and I'm not entirely sure it's worth the investment for the scammers. A typical scam call center will spend almost nothing on the hardware needed to make phone calls. That pretty much amounts to the cheapest PC and headset available. Expenditure is the fixed costs of paying agents, buying data and calls and bonuses. Why fix something that isn't broken? Scamming AI is some way off (thankfully).

Thanks Jim (great to see you here!) There's also that hypothesis where the most successful scammers are the worst written, because the only victims they trap are the ones who sail through the whole scam oblivious to the absurdity of it. If scammers use AI to make their scams more believable, they will waste more time and effort running half the scam with victims who wake up halfway and say 'waitaminute'

My dad got a call back when scammers would pretend to be someone's grandchild to get them to wire money to them for some kind of emergency. My dad was always sharp as a tack, so he didn't fall for it. Besides, my kids always greeted him with a very enthusiastic, "Hi Bepa!" whenever he answered the phone, so he was suspicious right off the bat. Elderly people, especially those with reduced mental capacities, could easily fall for this sort of thing. My mother had dementia and, like many others who suffer from that awful condition, became dangerously generous with her money. If she believed one of my kids needed her financial help, she wouldn't have hesitated to whip out her checkbook or debit card! (We did take those things away eventually, but it was very difficult on all of us.) Sorry to prattle on, but I find this extremely disturbing and infuriating. I really hope there's a special place in Hell for these people!

Didn't watch the video yet but my general advice for people paranoid about ai's, go poke at them online. You will quickly realize it isnt that scary. Plus you will notice patterns in the text construction like overly long sentences, mentioning stuff that wasn't established etc. But once you'll see it you will recognice ai text everywhere. Have fun and safe browsing and don't click shady links :3

I think a funnier question is how AI could be used in scambaiting itself. If one of the main goals is to distract potential scammers and keep them busy or annoyed by wild goose chases in the hopes that they will give up or have their accounts banned, and if many scammers aren't fluent English speakers, perhaps an AI could string them along in a convincing enough manner to at least distract them a little or gather enough proof for a report?

This exists already on Kitboga's channel, he programmed an AI and let it talk to scammers using voice changers to waste their time. Not LLM level, but AI (video "I Made an AI Bot to STEAL from SCAMMERS "). And he made a second video where he uses LLM's but reads out their response manually (video "I Tried Calling Scammers with an AI Generated Script")

I think it would have been excellent to use the secret code as an encryption key for a message that is in your usual misdirecting style.

Even if the mark doesn't ultimately send the money/gift cards/wire transfer or whatever, they're still harvesting all that personal data, and that's a surprisingly valuable commodity. You're right with the 'it's 2023 and there's still advance fee fraud' thought. I suppose there's a steady stream of naive internet users arriving all the time, enough to make it a bit worthwhile.

My grandparents got called by a scammer, who was impersonating my little brother. He said he was in jail, and needed bail. If my grandma didnt know that he wasn't the kind of person to be in jail, I wouldnt be surprised if she had been scammed by him. Its a terrifying world of scammers we live in.
