In All the Wrong Places

(Fair Use)

Some look for love in strip clubs, others in brothels.  “Pretty Woman” aside, looking for love in all the wrong places seems rampant these days.

Meta put out a recent warning that Facebook friends might not be all that friendly.  In fact, they might not be all that human.  AI is being used more and more to scam Eleanor Rigby and her lonely doppelgangers into thinking they are cherished.

Thanks to freely available GenAI tools, scammers can now “change their faces and voices on video calls as they pretend to be someone they are not.”  Although we all project situational identities at times, AI brings such games people play to a whole new level.

Folks are therefore urged to be “politely paranoid” when dealing with online anonymity.  After all, delusion is often based upon illusion.
