The exploit shows the extreme risk of offloading technical support to AI.

    I had always heard that 99% of hacking is just social engineering. AI has made that 100%.

      Now it’s not even social engineering with AI. It’s just fucking asking for the credentials. Good fucking grief!

          But can it be social if there’s no other people? Can one “socialize” with AI?

        But if you don’t use fancy words people won’t respect what you do.

          Speaking as one who uses “fancy words”, I can attest, it’s no means to garner respect, and more likely people still won’t respect what you do, and may even respect you less for the fancy words.
