Remember how you used to test a catfish by asking them to take a selfie holding a hand written note with their username on it?

There was an item on the radio yesterday, about detecting such fraud attempts. The context was date-fraud, a particularly mean form of attack.

To determine if the person you think you are talking to is real, ask him or her to do something simple like holding up three fingers in front of the face. AI cannot analyse the question and regenerate the image as rapidly and easily as a real person could understand and obey it. Instead it is likely to demur or evade the request, or not obey accurately.

However, we cannot say if in time the scammers' use of AI and ever more powerful computers will not overtake precautions like that.

Well you're a damn robot so you're deceiving people as well 🙄
