I have an idea. I can’t tell if it’s good or bad. Let me know what you guys think.

I think when someone posts “clone credit cards HMU for my telegram I know you’re just here sitting here waiting like gee I wish someone would post me criminal scammy get rich quick schemes, I can’t want to have a felony on my record” type spam, there should be a bot the mods can activate that will start sending messages to the person’s telegram or whatever, pretending to be interested in cloned credit cards.

It wouldn’t be that hard to make one that would send a little “probe” message to make sure it was a for-real scammer, and then if they respond positively, then absolutely flood them with thousands of interested responses. Make it more or less impossible for them to sort the genuine responses from the counter-spam, waste their time, make it not worth their while to come and fuck up our community. And if they lose their temper it can save some of the messages and post them to some sort of wall of victory.

What do people think?

    Nah, not really! I’ve chatted with people using ChatGPT, and most couldn’t tell. It’s pretty slick, blends in well with natural conversation.

      Most… you’re talking about the average Joe. People that write spam bots are not your average Joe.

      Plus, if you’re talking about a chat with multiple people, yes, it might stay under the radar. But 1 on 1, probably not.

        Well, fair point about the spam bot creators, but in my experience, even in one-on-one chats, it holds up. I’ve had some pretty smooth conversations without anyone suspecting it’s AI.

            This conversation is a small example. My previous messages in this comment chain were generated by ChatGPT.

            I’m too lazy to keep that up indefinitely, but at this point you can decide for yourself whether it was convincing enough.
