      That is not how that works. Scambaiting always ends in a failed scam, they would never use those conversations as training data.
      Training an neural net is based on feeding it examples of your desired outcome. So successful scams.

    • @lwardrop2453
      @lwardrop2453 Рік тому +19

      I think the training data still gets messed up in this scenario, because he’s responding to the prompts as if he is susceptible to the scam, just not immediately privy to the information the scammers want.
      Therefore, if a true susceptible person is not privy to the data the scammers want, responds as such, then the trained AI is severely more likely with its data to register this interaction as a failed scam attempt before the true person is too far along in the scam.
      An adept scam bot programmer may need their AI to be more advanced to tell the differences between a “it will not be successful” result, an “it will be successful” result, and the important but hard to account for third result “it may be successful, but the interaction needs to continue for longer”.

    On the topic of the FAQ, while I agree scammers aren't going anywhere, ever, I still think scambaiting is worth it. If even one person is prevented from being scammed, that's a win. Something you've touched on before is that scambaiters have possibly made scammers less willing to put up with nonsense, and so it's possible genuine victims might get dropped because the scammers think they're scambaiters. So that's got to count for something.

      @YaroKasear Рік тому

      And sadly, not all scams are baitable. The sextortion scams are a good example, since the emails are oneshot, probably spoof a fake or innocent email address, and the complete "payload" of the scam is all in that one email. They don't plan on having a conversation, just for people to drop money in their bitcoin wallet.
