Was just thinking. Foundation of social engineering is built on trust. Trust can be gained through impersonation, when scammer creates believable scenarios to gain victims trust and then abusing it. Is there a better way to make someone trust something when they see, hear and read from what they think they know or trust? AI is really good at impersonating, it's AI's greatest strength. Chat bot thing, audio and video AI can generate so believable. It becomes very clear how easy it is becoming to impersonate just about anyone and anything. Indian scammers are definitely going to get way more sophisticated. AI is an Indian scammer on steroids that can culturally and anyone tone match, and create fake video content that is believable.

And let's also connect that to intel agencies. Our own CIA is very well known for creating online forums and using them to manipulate and sway opinions, spark riots. Great examples of that social engineering is their success with Twitter / Facebook in Arab springs and in Ukraine and BLM riots out here, or even that little crapy looking website patriots.win (social engineering for conservatives), with Elon Musk like a whore trying to give away "free (manipulated) internet" to every nation where CIA has an operation. This isn't US only, China, Russia, Israel and others doing same things. It's scary the level of manipulation that will come upon us from all sides as AI matures, it only gets worse from here. This is why I think internet is doomed, the level of manipulation is going to skyrocket sooner or later and ruin everything.
