Good Use for AI

[HankB]

A guy has come up with a way to use an AI chatbot to deal with telemarketers and telephone scammers.

Basically the AI chatbot responds to the nuisance caller with semi-plausible nonsense designed to keep him on the line as long as possible, wasting his time with NO chance of making a sale or running a successful scam.

Jolly Roger's been around for a while.  I posted about it to my Bookface in 2017.

Bad use for AI

A child psychiatrist in Charlotte, N.C., has been sentenced to 40 years in prison for using artificial intelligence (AI) to create child pornography and secretly recording his 15-year-old cousin as she showered, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Western District of North Carolina.

David Tatum, 41, created the AI images by modifying pictures of ex-girlfriends with sexually explicit images of minors which he had obtained online. Tatum digitally altered images from a school dance and a photo commemorating the first day of school to make them sexually explicit, prosecutors said.

Another one of those sensationalized headlines to make you talk and maybe read.

I  don't see so much using AI to create child porn did him in as much as secretly recording his 15 y/o cousin (and others) and downloading and viewing 1000 or so child porn images and using them to manipulate other recordings. He is pretty much an old fashioned child porn scum kind of guy who used a new technology to manipulate images and recordings. Still not a good look for the use of AI but then again I feel using AI to search people going into a venue for concealed weapons is too much of a reach.

Thought about that myself.

I actually watched the whole video.  Darn.  I did all that anyway.  Now the telemarketers will think I'm a phonebot and just hang up on me.  No fun in that.
