    If you get a message, or see something on a social media platform urging you to buy crypto or NFTs, it’s 100% a scam. It doesn’t take an AI detector to figure that out.

    Stopping the scam bots has always been like fighting a hydra. You kill one head and a million more pop up.

      What are regulators going to do? Write the bot a report so it kills itself? Invite the bot to a ton of meetings? Sit it down and give it a firm finger pointing?

      Here’s a shorter summary:

      Researchers found over 1,000 AI spam bots on social media using ChatGPT to promote scams, especially in cryptocurrency. These bots imitate humans, making detection harder and potentially degrading online information quality. Without regulation, malicious actors could outpace efforts to combat AI-generated content, posing a threat to the internet’s reliability.
