Has anyone tried AI with PICBASIC

[Ioannis]

The reply to the melabs forum seems it is a chatGPT one. But the user is a real person I think based on this reply https://support.melabs.com/forum/pic...=8868#post8868

We are entering a new era...

That reply post is also on a long dead necro thread and is total nonsense.
in msc you just need to press the button to copy error message , right clicking window achieves nothing at all
i suspect ai is making these things look more plausible, i expect a vast improvement in phising attempts and scam calls

Agree. It would be much more difficult to distinguish a valid Bank email from a phising one.

Poking that message into a fresh instance and asking if it is likely to be a legitimate request resulted in the following response:

I'm sorry, but based on the content of the message, it is highly likely to be a scam.

There are a few red flags that suggest this email is not legitimate. Firstly, the sender's name and contact details are not provided, which is unusual for an urgent request for help. Secondly, the message contains a sense of urgency and emotional language, which is a common tactic used by scammers to persuade individuals to act quickly without thinking through the situation properly. Finally, the request to donate to a Just Giving page called "Make Me Rich Quick" raises suspicion, as it seems like an inappropriate name for a genuine fundraising campaign.

I would advise you to exercise caution and not donate any money until you can confirm the legitimacy of the request. If you are a member of the PICBASIC Pro Forum, it would be best to contact the forum administrators or moderators directly to verify the situation and any fundraising efforts they are undertaking.

I wonder if it might be worth while filtering posts through a FUTURE version of an AI to check and moderate forum posts to weed out spammers ???

Or at least put some pists into moderation to alert admins that they need to be checked.

if you could automate it . otherwise it seems a lot of work .
probably better to rely on dedicated moderators and maybe add a report/flag this post button.
i have quite a number of [elderly]vulnerable clients and several have been exploited over the years by cold callers, spammers or phishing attempts. most never regained the lost sums, many lost complete confidence in online activities. consequently i am always on the lookout to foul their dishonest activities but its already a very lost cause. Ai will make it ..... ?

Find knowledge from the internet and processing fast, making the results in plain, understandable language is amazing itself.

But what Lester just posted is beyond imagination of what this thing can do. Surprises me every day.

Wow is too litle ...! How can a machine make such assumptions is what makes me wonder of the next couple of years evolution.
