Comment on Ask HN: How to protect old parents from evolving AI based scams?

Comments

Shit, how do I protect myself from evolving AI-based scams? I'm middle-aged and not in the IT industry anymore, and scams like the Booking.com (I think it was?) one where the scammers were able to send valid emails almost got me already.

That's also a fear I have. But having grown up on internet it helps in adjusting to these changes fast. Secondly, I got a degree in CS and been a developer for a decade so yeah I know a video can be a deepfake instinctively. It's harder to scam us than a generation who retired already when deepfake/deepvoicecloning arrived and may be never had a CS exposure.
