The Medium is the Menace - How AI scams change communication
from FUNK !T | Mindful Media & Communication · host Sascha Funk
The Nigerian prince is dead. Long live the AI that sounds exactly like your mom crying on the phone asking for money. In this episode, I dive headfirst into the new golden age of scams, where the fakes are finally perfect. We'll explore how AI voice clones, hyper-personalized phishing, and eerily charming romance bots are making a mockery of our senses. I'll break down why our brains are so easily hacked and what it means to live in a "zero-trust world" where you now need a family safe word just to avoid sending your life savings to a server farm in another country.
