So you blamed the people for not acting “cautiously enough” instead of the people who let things run wild without even a clue what these things will do?

That’s wild!

We encourage people to be safe about plenty of things they aren't responsible for. For example, part of being a good driver is paying attention and driving defensively so that bad drivers don't crash into you / you don't make the crashes they cause worse by piling on.

That doesn't mean we're blaming good drivers for causing the car crash.

I don’t think it’s “blame” it’s more like “precaution” like you would take to avoid other scams and data breach social engineering schemes that are out in the world.

This is the world we live in and we can’t individually change that very much. We have to watch out for a new threat: vindictive AI.

The AI isn't vindictive. It can't think. It's following the example of people, who in general are vindictive.

Please stop personifying the clankers

		You’re splitting hairs, I’m not assigning sentience to the AI, I’m just describing actions. The point is that scammers will set up AI systems to attack in this way. Scammers will instruct AI to see a person who is interacting rather than ignoring as a warm lead.
