ChatGPT Botnet Used to Unleash Cryptocurrency Scams

ChatGPT may be great for improving search engines and ecommerce, but it’s also found work as a social media huckster.

Researchers at Indiana University Bloomington discovered a botnet powered by ChatGPT operating on Twitter in May of this year.

Many of the infected chatbots used the technology to craft social media posts and reply to each other’s posts.

The authors warn that a more finely-configured botnet would be more difficult to spot and more capable of duping unsuspecting people.

They warn that companies using ChatgPT may profit from the botnet’s presence on social networks as well as from manipulating the algorithms that favor particular content on social media.

In conclusion, the report warns that chatbots can be dangerous when they’re made by bad guys.
