I really enjoyed the writing style and tone.
> Liwei is convinced that “Christianity.” That’s it, that’s the sentence: “I’m convinced that Christianity.”
AI really hits peak ironic humor quite well. I would be shocked if there isn't a real person somewhere with that exact profile string as a gag, even if this AI generated it regurgitation style.
> “Fuck, you,” was all he could say. Paul did not sound German, and he was probably not in Pacifica. Rattled, I hung up and blocked Paulbot. I had tried to peek inside dating app scams, and reach the people who feel compelled to run them, and I had failed. Or maybe I had succeeded, if success meant confirming that humans are still scamming other humans, from a world away, by exploiting the false closeness we experience through screens.
Just top notch writing - I'm not sure I can put my finger on why. Great writing, interesting topic, no absurd over the top title or implications, and funny? Lauren Goode has a new fan :)
- itake 4y agoI had a different feeling... The author didn't try very hard to gather more information about the group after they gave up immediately when the person refused to answer explicit direct incriminating questions. This would be much more interesting if they went down the rabbit hole. They could have matched with multiple fake accounts, seen if it was AI or a human, seen if the accounts take you to the same website or if its a bunch of different groups operating.
