"bots" don't run on their own. While the initial message might be from a bot, leads need to then be coached into falling for the scam which involves human labor and can very well be such enslaved victims trapped in third-world countries.
- gumballindie 3y agoAs soon as sam altman hears about this he will make a proposal about replacing scam humans with ai. Which in itself is better than trafficking humans i suppose.

- gumballindie 3y agoIndeed. It's usually those around it that feel it.
- throwaway67743 3y agoai is literally the human equivalent of a sociopath and/or narcissist, it's devoid of human emotion
- sp332 3y agoTraining AI also requires lots of human labor. https://gizmodo.com/openai-chatgpt-ai-chat-bot-1850001021 https://gizmodo.com/openai-chatgpt-ai-chat-bot-1850001021
- throwaway67743 3y agoCorrect, I did some research into this, while the initial match is automated, you're connected with someone likely under duress, Tinder/Match do not care about this at all (in my present country its 80%+ profiles that are evidently human trafficking and extortion). After asking what they intend to do about the horrific rights violations they're profiting off, they said, "we don't care" literally. There is also the collateral, the profiles/photos they steal are of real people, which may or may not end up in real life ramifications for them. It used to be entirely generic Asians (Orient, not SE, as they're more attractive to the west apparently) - but these days they've upped the game and use region specific photos (ie; in my case, Slavic origin)
