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.
Well scammers are using bots too, so it’s just going to be to two bots talking to each other and the only winners are the LLM providers and power utilities.
