Warning sounded over 'flirting robots'
Fantastic, humanity’s genius has built another advanced AI system that passes Turing Test, and what is it? An flirtatious chat bot built by Russian identity thieves that quickly establishes a relationship and steals your personal information. Love ‘em and leave em’… broke. Apparently it’s not much of one for long-term relationships:
The artificial intelligence of CyberLover’s automated chats is good enough that victims have a tough time distinguishing the “bot” from a real potential suitor, PC Tools said. The software can work quickly too, establishing up to 10 relationships in 30 minutes, PC Tools said. It compiles a report on every person it meets complete with name, contact information, and photos.
Another fun bot that will try to convince you it’s human is jabberwacky, though it’s more interested in what kind of a person you are than what kind of credit cards you’ve got.
