The bank warned him of scams, but he ignored them. I wonder - is there a way for banks to warn people of scams that they will listen to?

Interesting. I wonder if we&#x27;ll see more of these with LLMs and Deepfakes in the future. It doesn&#x27;t look that hard to duplicate the process. There&#x27;s plenty of training text out there of people telling other people what they want to hear. And finding pictures of attractive women for training the Deepfake isn&#x27;t hard either.

Is this a wealth transfer from stupid to smart, or is it actually possible to scam people with and above normal intelligence?
