British mobile phone company O2 has unveiled a new creation, Daisy, a chit-chat and kitty-cat loving artificial intelligence “granny” who talks to scammers to keep them away from real people.
“Hello, scammers. I’m your worst nightmare,” Daisy says by way of introduction to would-be ne’er-do-wells.
In the video introduction, featuring former Love Island contestant and scam victim Amy Hart, scammers are heard feeling much of the same frustrations they put their victims through as Daisy breezily yammers on about her kitten, Fluffy, and her inability to follow the scammers’ instructions.
Throw in a dash of narcissism and you’ve just described my dad perfectly. There’s never a point, and if you ask what was the point of that story? What were you trying to say? He’ll deliver a point with confidence, but it’s never about anything he’d previously said. He’s pretty sure we can all read his mind, despite us never knowing what the fuck he’s talking about. Actually a pretty solid comparison to shitty LLMs, now that you mention it.
