Remember those YouTube videos of scammers who push fake antivirus programs on old people? That’s your computer now. Don’t even need the old person in front of it anymore, because an AI version of that is now pre-installed on your system.
I’m sorry but that’s being a little disingenuous. AI on a computer in no way, and I am not defending it whatsoever cuz I’ve gotten rid of all of that shit off of all of my devices, could do something like fall for a scammer going through and setting something up like this. It’s still requires interaction with somebody opening an email clicking on something downloading something etc. There’s always the human element that’s going to have issues as well.
It’s a joke, dude. But let’s play the reality game. An email assistant that opens Word documents attached to emails and activates Macros without my explicit consent? Completely possible.
