For the record, ChatGPT didn’t write me a phishing email when I asked it to.
In fact, it gave me a very stern lecture about why phishing is bad.
Experts say these AI-generated emails are also more likely to make it past security software email filters.
But, experts say, don’t blame the AI.
Some experts also have concerns about the possible data privacy implications, both for companies and the average consumer.
OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, didn’t respond to an email seeking comment.
“Its main potential is as an amplifier.”
AI-powered chatbots could change that.
In the meantime, language-based AI isn’t going to go away.
“The barrier to entry is getting lower and lower and lower to be hacked and to be phished.
AI is just going to increase the volume.”
