With all the media coverage surrounding Chat GPT, you've probably heard of the Artificial Intelligence conversation software. The Better Business Bureau warns consumers to be cautious because the person they think you're talking to online could be a Chat GPT scammer. KRPS's Fred Fletcher-Fierro has more.
It's estimated that ChatGPT had 100 million worldwide users in January of this year, just two months after launch, making it the fastest-growing consumer application in history. Scammers have started using ChatGPT to make their malware threats, phishing attempts, and fake profiles more convincing and interactive.
Scammers using ChatGPT can create the illusion of a natural person by quickly generating well-written copy and believable responses to victims' messages. This can make it harder for victims to identify that they're being scammed. The Better Business Bureau warns consumers to use extreme caution if they receive a message from someone they don't know. Don't click on included links or provide requested personal information.
Also, contact the company or agency directly to confirm its authenticity if the message appears from a legitimate organization, such as a bank or government agency.
