"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

Idk, elderly are prone to ramblingnon and sometimes not making much sense. Perfect use of AI if you ask me.

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.

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.
