Nigerian Prince Laid Off After AI Takes Over Phishing Email Industry
In a shocking turn of events, a once-thriving Nigerian prince, known for his relentless pursuit of unsuspecting victims through elaborate phishing schemes, has been laid off as artificial intelligence has taken the lead in the malicious email market.
“I never thought I’d see the day when a chatbot could out-scam me,” lamented Prince Abubakar, who has spent the last decade crafting heartfelt emails promising vast fortunes in exchange for personal information. “I mean, I had a whole backstory about a lost treasure and a dying uncle! Now, these AIs are just spitting out generic messages at lightning speed.”
Industry experts report that AI-generated emails now account for over 70% of all phishing attempts, leaving human scammers like Prince Abubakar scrambling for work. “It’s just not fair,” he added. “I had a personal touch! I even included a picture of my royal palace!”
As he navigates the job market, Abubakar is considering a career change, possibly into AI ethics. “If I can’t beat them, I might as well join them,” he mused, “but I’ll need to work on my coding skills. I can’t just rely on my royal charm anymore.”
Amazing. Spam emails just became crazy polluting thanks to AI.
What’s really cool is that all this spam emails now get to be summarized by yet another AI at the receiving end. I’m so glad all this newfangled AI makes computing more efficient!
So, it’s AI all the way down?
I can’t wait for the internet to eat itself. I’ll finally have a reason to go outside.
Plenty of rabbits outside!!! That’s another great reason!
As opposed to previously.
Previously it was Markov chains now it is LLMs
Tutto a maiali
And you worried it would take the jobs we wanted.
