    “Daisy” is claimed to be indistinguishable from a real person, fooling scammers into thinking they’ve found perfect prey thanks to its ability to engage in “human-like” rambling chat, the biz claims.

    lmao okay. This will work for maybe a week, and then they will smarten up

      I’ve watched an 18 minute video of an Indian scammer talking to an answering machine randomly repeating one of like 10 pre-recorded voice lines. This one is most likely much better and will steal hours of their time.

      Idk, elderly are prone to rambling on and sometimes not making much sense. Perfect use of AI if you ask me.

      I’m not sure. Sometimes I feel like talking to my almost 80 year old mother is sorta like talking to chatGPT.

    Sir, after the latest round of training to the new LLM it hallucinates all the time talking about nonsense that never happened, and every time you ask it any questions, It gets preoccupied with the first answer it comes up with and won’t take any more input.

    Wait I have an idea…

        Imagine explaining this headline to the very last somebody reading it in an old internet archive in a bunker in 2090!

          How very optimistic of you. I’ve been a little more despondent about our future. I doubt we’ll still exist as a species in 2090.

            We’ll cling to life like cockroaches despite being so fragile.

            Our wealth class has littered and is littering this Earth with climate controlled luxury bunkers to escape the consequences of their own fine work, which will buy some sad bastards the honor of sipping expensive whiskeys in concrete tombs below the scorched surface for a few decades before we finally, mercifully end.

            It might be the family of the perpetrators we know like the Bezoses and Musks, but I can only dream it will be their service/security staff that will have murdered them the moment the security doors closed and took their shit.

              I can imagine the ruling class to still have their pissing contests with other billionaires from their secure bunkers. Eventually they’ll develop bunker busting nukes and everyone will be gone.

              It’s all so depressing. I know it’s not going to help but I need a drink.

    The Grandma-Honeypot LOL

    But I don’t believe in it. If I were the scammer, I would have maybe 2 or 3 of these lengthy talks with “her”, but afterwards I would recognize her and of course avoid her anytime.

        That “fleet” would need many significant differences, like when you recognize different people, then many features are different. If your grandma talks to you with a different tone, you would still recognize your grandma easily.

    Once again, one of the very rare few areas where ai isn’t a completely shitty solution: tasks that are worthwhile and important, but that require labor no one is willing to pay for.

    Others include translation, transcription, and image descriptions. Things people won’t put resources into but that should happen anyway

    The only problem is that these have nothing to do with why massive companies are investing in this tech. If AI didn’t enable the equivalent of money laundering for intellectual labor, the billionaires wouldn’t give a shit
