Who'd have thought, NPCs can't tell the difference between NPCs and NPCs?

Today I learned that a company in Hong Kong is run by my grandma. I told you granny, that man who keeps emailing you is not really a Nigerian prince.

a Nigerian prince.

You know why those emails are so badly misspelled? It's to weed out people too smart to fall for the scam. Now, with AI, you can up your game to catch more idiots.

Could be an easy way to transfer a wad of cash and claim you were duped. Duped I tell you! It was an accident

Expect a complete domination of society once this tech matures. Face to face meetings in real life will be the only trustable interaction.

I believe the beast is hoping to make this the pretext for the digital biometric i.d. mark.

AI has only just taken off and it is already being abused.
