The true cost of generative AI is the erosion of trust.
I just call my grandma now and again and attempt to scam her. Now she’s hardened.
FBI recommends coming up with a 'secret word or phrase' to make sure your family know you're you and not some hellish AI copycat

I pentest my grandma about once or twice a year.

Eww y’all have a code word? Those are easily guessable.
My wife and I have a random 6 digit code that rotates every 30-seconds based on an algorithm and if we don’t properly authorize, we will refuse the connection.

Eww you have a random rotating 6 digit code to connect with your wife? Those are easily guessable.
My wife and I have just agreed that we don’t properly authorize, so we will always refuse the connection.

I just don’t have a wife. Even easier.

My family gaslit me for decades.
I can only hope someone bothers to harass them with my own voice.

Truth be told, me and my parents have been doing this for a bit now to combat the kidnapping scam calls
rainerloeten@lemmy.world 1 week ago
We don’t need code words, we need a proper PKI (public key infrastructure) for authenticated communication.

You receive a call from an unknown number and they tell you they’ve kidnapped your wife. They then give her the phone so you can hear her but she didn’t do it through Signal so she’s obviously not your wife so you just hang up.

You can use this to your benefit though
husband/wife walks up to you to start an argument
“sorry honey, you need your private key”
Instant win

Seems a bit hard to verbally exchange keys and sign your speech though.
rainerloeten@lemmy.world 1 week ago
Yeah, I wouldn’t recommend doing that.
And that’s not how you establish a PKI or implement AE (authenticated encryption). When I send a voice message e.g. I don’t verbally sign it, that’s actually part of KE (key exchange) protocol.
Same applies to non encrypted, authenticated communication of course.
And in case you are talking about physical face to face communication: I think you’d recognize your family and friends without the help of cryptography.

my family knows i hate using the phone in the first place so me calling without good reason is a red flag
Wrufieotnak@feddit.org 1 week ago
The scam is exactly about feinting a “good reason”. So it is still a good idea to establish a code phrase for such situation, even if you don’t normally use the phone.
Dudewitbow@lemmy.zip 1 week ago
its the mannerism that matters on the phone.
the other part is for a scammer to create a model using broken english/asian language, which on its own, is a huge hurdle.

Trust is dead, the foundation of communication was laid to rest without another soul in sight.

Digital communication is dead*
People forget there’s still a perfectly good real world right there any time they want to live in it.

Except theres not cause the MAGAts are out drooling on the streets, in your workplace, and at the cornerstore 24/7 making sure you know their silver spooned, first-generation immigrant, traitor is For The People.

Anyone born in the 80’s probably still has the code word their parents gave them.

And then tell it to them in person, or the FBI will know it
Yokozuna@lemmy.world 6 days ago
I just tell them to hang up and call me right back. In some scenarios that might not be the best solution but it is the easiest blanket approach that I can find to keep everyone safe.
TachyonTele@lemm.ee 1 week ago
We’ve discussed this years back, and decided our safe phrase is “Hi gramma, it’s me im in jail and need apple gift cards”
