Not sure I follow this.
It follows the development of advanced AI technologies such as GPT4, which can convincingly mimic a human in conversation – including one example where it falsely told a human user that it was not a robot in order to convince them to complete a task on its behalf.
He said AI could be used by bad actors to “mechanise and automate” social engineering scams such as romance fraud. Such frauds are usually perpetrated by an individual human, but AI technologies could enable them to become more widespread. “You can be having a conversation with someone by text or by social media who convincingly appears to be a real person,” he said.
If I get a call from someone asking for my pin number - it doesn't really matter to me whether it's a real person or a ChatGPT pretending to be a real person?
The fact that it's not a real person, doesn't make it any less scammy?
What am I missing here?
