"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

Watching Kitboga videos, they do not smarten up.

I'm guessing he selects scammers for maximum enjoyment and doesn't randomly sample. I imagine there are plenty of smart scammers out there.

They do not be oversmart

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.

Lmao, you've never heard of Lennybot.

Scammers are stupider than you could ever imagine.

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.
