It's not tho...
That's why Amazon cancels their "just walk out to checkout" program.
They kept saying it was AI, but then eventually admitted they were paying overseas workers to do it via webcam because AI couldn't do it.
They kept that program going for years before they gave up on it
Not those scammers, the Nigerian Princes.
The most popular venues for GPT assisted confidence schemes right now is a tie between discord and twitter. Twitter allows for the utilization of short form response bots in DM and posts, discord has an ongoing AI generated art scam where a robot begs you to comission them so they can make rent. Both have extremely easy to identify playbook/flowchart type responses, and key messages they will always send to push the scam along among their generated chatter. It's not quite nigerian prince, and it's only getting more prominent as neither site has a handle on the current con and thus aren't doing anything to curb it
