You could send all the text lines you need to different people who then record themselves speaking those lines. So you can use different voices, not just your own variations. You could even create scenarios with several people involved, including supposed competing scammers for example, if something like that isn't too complex. Maybe that's better suited for a soundboard.
have you considered framing this as a reinforcement learning problem? state = stage of script and last scammer comment/question; actions = set of voice recording responses you have; reward = time on the call

@@absolutelyfookinnobody2843 Big companies already fail to have proper AI call centers so a scamming center yeah... I don't see that happening. Plus you would need to have "competent" guys on the team to actually finetune the model to scam people. Scammers are predictable. Users are not. To my mind, an AI made to waste scammers time is way easier to do than an AI trying to scam people that are totally lost on a computer.
kitboga doesn't directly support scambaiting because most people don't know how to do it securely and don't know how to know who is actually a scammer. You'd need at least a VPN, hardened VM, 10x more research than this comment, then click on every download button and popup
@@Ratships Right, do it like a "choose your own adventure story" where each story has two or three branches that the bot chooses at random, and then 2 or 3 branches off of those. Have them going round and round trying to get to the truth of a fictional story lmao. It would require a lot of recording, but it would be worth it to see if they stick it out. Judging by how they listen to Kit, I'd imagine it's possible.
Hire a TON of voice actors and actresses to make a copy of your sentences / word play and host a 24/7 server. You could waste thousands of hours of hundreds of people a day, even if its barely accurate.
I showed my Mom one of your older videos, of you pretending to buy a mobility scooter instead of giving the money back to the scammers. Yesterday my Mom got a call from """Amazon""" and she was hooked for a few minutes before she remembered that video, and she started asking the scammers to identify themselves. When pressed for details it became obvious to her that they were imposters, and she was saved god knows how much money.
I always wondered who would actually fall for this. Last week my grandparents were scammed by people pretending to be PayPal and it was heartbreaking. Thanks for what you do.
My favorite is the part where scammers are actively looking for victims who are easily confused, so when they hit the AI they really want to convince this person to follow their instructions, and waste more of their own time
@@elbruces It needs some slight tweaking to make it a tiny bit more believable and to get further into the scam to get more bank accounts, but otherwise, it indeed should keep the confused persona. My hope is that this might be the start of really making a dent against these scammers if we can get to a point where we flood their lines with AI's. Might not be anytime soon, but it doesn't feel like such a far-flung future either.
Kit the embarrassment you're feeling here is literally the same feeling everyone gets watching your videos. This ai knocked it out of the park as-is. He was hilarious. He could keep these guys on the line for hours lol.
If it had many different voices and a better diversity of phrases it could be a lot more powerful but it's already very impressive as it is. I wish it was good enough that we could have multiple bots calling scam centers 24/7.
@@Reth_Hard Once it's well functioning it would be easy to allow anyone to submit a reading of all the phrases used. Then have the AI use a randomly chosen voice each call.
@@cathy3864 Ignorant is not meant to be offensive it simply means you are unaware, so they are ignorant to the fact it was a scam it is a completely legitimate way to use the word that's not offensive at all. Some people don't know the proper definition and will just use it to try and be offensive but the word doesn't mean you are dumb or anything like that simply means you are just unaware about a specific thing. Hope that makes sense
Sky is the absolute limit here. The potential to scale and take advantage of all the AI voices and personas that are being created lately is phenomenal.

Please continue to evolve and expand this forever... lifelong follower and supporter.
I would like to provide a sound source as an Asian Chinese's English accent for the variation! If we run this AI all time soon it will be a nightmare for these scammer to recognize if it's a human or not.
When your AI trolls the scammer as well as you do hahaha You THOUGHT the AI was having trouble understanding the bank name question, but it actually studied your personality and knew exactly what to do hahahah love this
Yesterday my grandma gave 25k to scammers. She was terrified of them. Thought she'd end up in prison. It's been horrible for her. Thank you for the work you do kitboga. It's fun but it's also good
Is she going to get the money back? If she got gift cards you should try to redeem them or refund them, there’s a chance the scammers didn’t redeem them yet.
You should definitely keep it up with this, if the AI gets solid enough to run by itself, you could make a spinoff channel for the best bits of it taking down the scammers. Top notch content as always.
The level of inventiveness and creativity never fails to astonish. Whether it's automated or live, Kitboga always delivers! This is somebody who should never, ever "lose their job."
I absolutely agree, although if the reason he lost his job was because all of these types of scammers finally gave up I bet he’d be thrilled and would find a way to shine doing something else.
My day always gets better knowing that Kitboga has been winding up more scumbag scammers while teasing them about the money that the scumbags are never going to get. 🤡😂🤣💯
Whether driving, walking, jogging, catching an Uber, riding a bike or bus-Kit always goes the extra mile. Got to love how these scammers become real irritated, yell, and are inconvenienced while trying to STEAL money.
Kit, I thought you were a genius before this video. Now you've raised the bar real high my dude. Damn impressive. These scammers don't understand what's coming at them.
If his AI becomes self-aware, why do you assume it would change its behavior? Maybe the AI would realize "I'm doing true good in the world by keeping scammers from scamming".
Ive dealt with scammers before, and it just seems to me like no matter how difficult or complicated the person on the other end of the line is making it, the scammers just never hang up out of frustration. You can spend ten hours on the phone with them spinning them in circles and they still don't just hang up and move on to a different victim. And for that reason, I hope that thousands of scammer bots clog up their lines each and every day.
"Several studies have been done on the psychological effects of random rewards on monkeys. For example, if you teach a monkey to do a task and consistently reward it every time the task is done, the monkey quickly learns to associate a specific outcome with the efforts. If you stop rewarding it for doing the task, within a very short period of time the monkey will simply stop doing the task. It won't waste its energy doing something that it has now learned it won't be rewarded for. However, the monkey's response to being cut off from the reward is very different if you start out on a purely random schedule, instead of a consistent one. When you stop offering the reward, there's no way the monkey can know that it will never be rewarded again for doing that task. Every time it was rewarded in the past, the reward came as a surprise. As a result, from the monkey's perspective, there's no reason to quit doing the task. The monkey keeps on doing the task, even without being rewarded for doing it. Some will continue indefinitely."
This makes me think of another experiment, zi think it was the Skinner box? There were pigeons and in some of the containers pressing the button guaranteed seeds, while in other containers, it was random, some of the pigeons in the random button boxes started doing different things like spinning around before pressing the button , I’ll have to look it up again for details
None of my scammers stay on the line for long. My best conversations with scammers over the years is having one of them call me back to call me a bitch after they hung up on me. Another one outed themselves as racist against Indians after I brought up a great Indian place in my town. I told another one that I had $120,000 in credit card debt and they asked me which card had the significant amount. They hung up on me after I said, "Well when you are $120,000 in credit card debt, all of them are significant." I had 1 scammer say some terrible things about my daughter that I don't have and then after I laughed with him we talked about Xbox 360 and he apologized for what he said and told me to have a good day. My favorite one though, I got into a moaning fight with a scammer while I was at work. We were both just sexually moaning at each other for a few minutes and it was one of the most absurd moments of my life.
Yes, I CAN imagine that. It doesn't even matter if they know it's a bot or not. Just the sheer number of AI calls will do the rest, and drive expenses through the roof and drive the profits through the floor. Run the buggers out of business!
The genius of this formula is, he's pranking people that truly deserve it. The unspoken issue with other popular prankers was that the people they pranked could very well be average jerks like you and me; just earning a living. But here, the formula is perfected and channeled at those who truly deserve to be punked. It's guilt free indulgence.
Not only do they deserve to get pranked and humiliated, but all the time they waste talking to a scambaiter is time they can't spend successfully stealing money from vulnerable people
can i just bring attention to the console text looking fancy as hell over there? like you can see colors and arrows being animated, it could be boring console logs like there is right above it but no, you get a fancy ui telling you a lot about the current state of the ai. very pleasant to look at, and also funny to hear the results. nice job kitboga, subscribed
Fcking brilliant. and even when the AI screws up, it is random in a way that humans wouldn't be and makes it more hilarious, and the scammer still keeps rolling with it. It's hilarious in itself that they keep unknowingly talking to a robot, let alone being 'manipulated' by it
Watching you train the AI live was the best thing ever, Kit! It was super exciting to see it work but also hilarious when it would just mess up or misunderstand what the scammer was saying. This is fantastic and I hope you continue to do it!!
@@xlgabriel Given the editing, it seems like he's using a soundboard with clips of his own voice, and there's no AI at all. But I didn't watch the live stream so I don't know.
In response to "you are a hacker" you could make the AI ask what is that or react like it believes they are trying to insult him. I believe it could lead to even funnier conversations.
Or any if the various quotes from the movie "Hackers". Or even better start a command chain of reasoning about if they're inside the "Matrix" asking if the scammer took the blue or red pill.
The AI is hilarious. And then you supervising and reacting to the AI is a whole other level of entertainment. I love the variability of the AI compared to just the predictable nature of a human. I also appreciate running an application and seeing if it does what you expect.
Would be awesome if you could get this AI out to everyone. Where we can record our voices for random varius answers. Creating a mass AI army to annoy these scammers.
Mmhmm. Not only would it provide it with more data for better training, but, because it will havemany different voices, scammers wouldn't be able to tell they're talking to an AI instead of a real human.
I get the vibe by showing code that he intends to maybe opensource at some point? I might be wrong. But he doesn't seem to be withholding anything from the public.
The idea that some major US Bank has a BOLO for some old man who refused to wear a shirt (and/or shoes) in their lobby in the 1970's......LOL I can't. Brilliant AF.
the part where it knows when to wait or just continue talking even when someone talks over it is hands down one of the best. Just imagine multiple instances of this stored in cloud and just do trial and errors across scam call centers.
It would be really funny if u added a random ramble story that the AI just keeps rambling on about for like 10min, completely ignoring the scammer. Ex: “oh my cat the other day did the cutest thing! They cuddled with me and purred and I got to pet their soft fur.” And at the end you just say “oh sorry for getting off topic, what did u want again?”
I was right there with you on Twitch when you asked our opinion on weather we thought an AI was a good idea. I am so proud of you Kitboga, your creation is beautiful and you are awesome!
@@KitsuneShapeShifter Eh, it kind of did. AI as a concept has been around for ages with plenty of uses. He's talking about language models, which the world lost their minds over, and I'd say that this is pretty much one of the only 'useful' applications, since their purpose is to talk. Even if you're including AI "art", the only use that's had is stealing from a bunch of artists to pay less money to real artists. Maybe both will improve in the future, but for now, the comment has aged fine.
It's funny that Kit is such a sweet guy he doesn't even want to be negative about scammers. Also, you see the surprise when the AI does something he didn't expect, like your kid speaking for the first time.
This is beautiful! It needs a lot of work, of course. But the scammer probably thinks he has a senile old man on the phone! All he has to do is get him to follow instructions! Dangling the cash "carrot" in front of the scammer gives him a lot of incentive to be patient with the old robo-codger! 🤖👴🏼
The idea of being able to set up like 100 of these AI's and call a bunch of scammers is amazing. Only issue is they scammers will start catching on and the AI will need to be updated.
Yeah but the beautiful thing is if it’s set up with machine learning, it will teach itself how to waste the maximum amount of time and automatically adapt as the scammers pick up on the signs.
I'm pretty sure if this becomes a thing, more people can also offer their voices to an AI voice database. We could have hundreds of voices and characters to choose from so it's even harder to tell if it's an AI and who's human. ... that also sounds like something from a dystopian novel ngl.
This is so effective, every now and then I feel bad for the person on the other end until I remember they're a disgusting human being that deserves so much more than just their time being wasted. We need an army of these running 24/7!
Now if we can get a bunch of computers running this AI, imagine how many potential victims won't be able to get through. Keep the AIs on all their lines. :)
For the record, if you need your AI bot to have multiple voices to choose from I’m sure many in your community would volunteer to record audio clips saying a series of responses for you.
I would totally lend my voice for such a project, gladly. The more voices the AI has the harder it'd be for scammers to differentiate between bot or human.
@@markgard That's a frightening thought about the child. My guess would be for probably 70% of the scammers the answer would be yes. Now I want to know.

@@absolutelyfookinnobody2843 that'd be a-lot of legwork for something that would be less effective than paying people.
@@absolutelyfookinnobody2843 Big companies already fail to have proper AI call centers so a scamming center yeah... I don't see that happening. Plus you would need to have "competent" guys on the team to actually finetune the model to scam people.
Scammers are predictable. Users are not. To my mind, an AI made to waste scammers time is way easier to do than an AI trying to scam people that are totally lost on a computer.
kitboga doesn't directly support scambaiting because most people don't know how to do it securely and don't know how to know who is actually a scammer.
You'd need at least a VPN, hardened VM, 10x more research than this comment, then click on every download button and popup
I'd love to see a scammer sit through an entire 20 minute story by the AI.
Training AI to just formulate obscene stories would be amazing.
Im mean, lets just stick GPT-3 on top of that sucker already and see the chaos unfold
@@The1rust The AI is just choosing pre-recorded voice lines, its not generating new Kitboga lines
This would be
E P I C 🗿
@@Ratships Right, do it like a "choose your own adventure story" where each story has two or three branches that the bot chooses at random, and then 2 or 3 branches off of those. Have them going round and round trying to get to the truth of a fictional story lmao. It would require a lot of recording, but it would be worth it to see if they stick it out. Judging by how they listen to Kit, I'd imagine it's possible.
Hire a TON of voice actors and actresses to make a copy of your sentences / word play and host a 24/7 server. You could waste thousands of hours of hundreds of people a day, even if its barely accurate.
I'd happily do that for free. Get some female Aussie voices out there, and maybe a few average Kiwi, US and English accents too.
even wasting their time is a win. good job. we all need to have our pc's run this while not in use.
Yes wasting time is a win
pcs, no '
Never mind SETI@Home, we can run ScamBait@Home
I showed my Mom one of your older videos, of you pretending to buy a mobility scooter instead of giving the money back to the scammers. Yesterday my Mom got a call from """Amazon""" and she was hooked for a few minutes before she remembered that video, and she started asking the scammers to identify themselves. When pressed for details it became obvious to her that they were imposters, and she was saved god knows how much money.
What a great story! Kudos to your mother! :)
I always wondered who would actually fall for this. Last week my grandparents were scammed by people pretending to be PayPal and it was heartbreaking. Thanks for what you do.
🙏
So sorry
Sorry to hear this.
I have contacts who deal with victims if you feel they need any help. Probably can't help getting any money back but could maybe help them feel better
How much were they scammed for if you don’t mind me asking?
"OK have a good day" "Why?" This AI is cracking me UP
My favorite is the part where scammers are actively looking for victims who are easily confused, so when they hit the AI they really want to convince this person to follow their instructions, and waste more of their own time
Yeah, I think improving it any more would make it less effective.
@@elbruces It needs some slight tweaking to make it a tiny bit more believable and to get further into the scam to get more bank accounts, but otherwise, it indeed should keep the confused persona. My hope is that this might be the start of really making a dent against these scammers if we can get to a point where we flood their lines with AI's. Might not be anytime soon, but it doesn't feel like such a far-flung future either.
“The whole no shirt, no shoes movement was pretty powerful back then.”
Love the bot, Kit. This might be how we win once and for all. Great work.
Kit the embarrassment you're feeling here is literally the same feeling everyone gets watching your videos. This ai knocked it out of the park as-is. He was hilarious. He could keep these guys on the line for hours lol.
No AI can replace the comedian talent of Kitboga
Preach!
yes he's seriously funny!
Its a new form of comedy watching people dance for a robot.
The AI ignoring what the scammer is saying makes Kitboga proud
Right. But this is truly genius. I am retired & I know folks in my vicinity who were scammed. Kitboga is pure Genius !😁
This is what we needed to protect our senior and ignorant victims. You are doing gods work my good sir!
If it had many different voices and a better diversity of phrases it could be a lot more powerful but it's already very impressive as it is.
I wish it was good enough that we could have multiple bots calling scam centers 24/7.
There are no ignorant victims. They get scared or just don't understand what is happening. Doesn't mean they are ignorant.
@@Reth_Hard Once it's well functioning it would be easy to allow anyone to submit a reading of all the phrases used. Then have the AI use a randomly chosen voice each call.
@@cathy3864 you mean ignorant right?
@@cathy3864 Ignorant is not meant to be offensive it simply means you are unaware, so they are ignorant to the fact it was a scam it is a completely legitimate way to use the word that's not offensive at all. Some people don't know the proper definition and will just use it to try and be offensive but the word doesn't mean you are dumb or anything like that simply means you are just unaware about a specific thing. Hope that makes sense
Trolling Scammers with semi insane robots is hilarious, it would be great to do this on mass and just waste the money and time of the scammers.
Sky is the absolute limit here. The potential to scale and take advantage of all the AI voices and personas that are being created lately is phenomenal.
You're incredible at 1v1 no doubt, but watching an AI clean house on autopilot is just on another level. Can't get enough of the effectiveness, efficiency, and power. Please continue to evolve and expand this forever... lifelong follower and supporter.
Yes.. image a world where the scammers just give up
I would like to provide a sound source as an Asian Chinese's English accent for the variation! If we run this AI all time soon it will be a nightmare for these scammer to recognize if it's a human or not.
@@phunweng962 yes. Anything that wastes their time counts as a win. It's not just about entertainment it's about putting less scammers in circulation.
@@phunweng962 but it’s a fine line, you don’t want the scammer to hang up because they can’t understand well enough.
@@Sashazur it's better that way, they'd do the same with regular people.
When your AI trolls the scammer as well as you do hahaha
You THOUGHT the AI was having trouble understanding the bank name question, but it actually studied your personality and knew exactly what to do hahahah love this
Agreed
As a service this could literally protect millions of people from fraud if it was just set up as a call filter.
There already are some services like that in some countries used by banks
Yesterday my grandma gave 25k to scammers. She was terrified of them. Thought she'd end up in prison. It's been horrible for her. Thank you for the work you do kitboga. It's fun but it's also good
Is she going to get the money back? If she got gift cards you should try to redeem them or refund them, there’s a chance the scammers didn’t redeem them yet.
@@Sashazur no unfortunately they made her pay in Bitcoin straight into their wallet. It's gone 😞
Omggg
Sorry to hear that but you’re gorgeous
@@makaelamcmahan6899 omfg you have got to be joking, do you know the BTC address?
I can't wait for this to be good enough to have it mass call scammers and learn from their scripts and eventually waste their time.
So basically, Kitboga made a bot that passes the Turing test.
IKR?
Bold of you to assume the scammers are a good metric *for* a Turing test.
Well, it accurately simulates a conversation with a human *with dementia.* I'm not sure that's a high enough bar for the Turing test 😂
it's built to follow the scammer's script
The AI project is one of my most favoritist things. Don't ever stop it.
I just hope he doesn’t abandon manual scambaiting videos for it though.
You should definitely keep it up with this, if the AI gets solid enough to run by itself, you could make a spinoff channel for the best bits of it taking down the scammers. Top notch content as always.
The level of inventiveness and creativity never fails to astonish. Whether it's automated or live, Kitboga always delivers! This is somebody who should never, ever "lose their job."
I absolutely agree, although if the reason he lost his job was because all of these types of scammers finally gave up I bet he’d be thrilled and would find a way to shine doing something else.
@@hollybigelow5337 Yeah. But "as long as there is evil" we will have Kitboga.
@@ProfessorTofty I wish there was a love button rather than only a like button for that comment.
Correction, it's "lose their jub" 😆
@@billg7205 lol
My day always gets better knowing that Kitboga has been winding up more scumbag scammers while teasing them about the money that the scumbags are never going to get. 🤡😂🤣💯
except they do still get money… which is why people like Kitboga are doing this
Whether driving, walking, jogging, catching an Uber, riding a bike or bus-Kit always goes the extra mile.
Got to love how these scammers become real irritated, yell, and are inconvenienced while trying to STEAL money.
This needs to be weaponized with different voices and pitches. This is Skynet to scammers!
These scammers may very well start to be even more on edge now if AI's start joining the war and sound so convincing.
Wow, this iteration is so much more refined than previous versions of your AI, super impressive how much progress you've made, love it!
Kit, I thought you were a genius before this video. Now you've raised the bar real high my dude. Damn impressive. These scammers don't understand what's coming at them.
I’m going to love the day when all of these TH-cam channels get so good at this that the scammers are flooded with AI bots 🤣🤣🤣
I thought 4D chess was just a meme.
It’s all fun and games until the AI bot becomes self-aware and tries to scam Kitboga.
Ai bot vs Kitboga now that'd be good content.
Peak comment
If his AI becomes self-aware, why do you assume it would change its behavior? Maybe the AI would realize "I'm doing true good in the world by keeping scammers from scamming".
@@BigFrakkinOgre wrung answuer
Can you program the AI to get more and more angry/upset over time? Would be hilarious
Indeed. After 15 minutes, active nasty grandpa. Now that would be good entertainment.
youve developed that AI quite a bit over the last couple years man , great work .
Ive dealt with scammers before, and it just seems to me like no matter how difficult or complicated the person on the other end of the line is making it, the scammers just never hang up out of frustration. You can spend ten hours on the phone with them spinning them in circles and they still don't just hang up and move on to a different victim. And for that reason, I hope that thousands of scammer bots clog up their lines each and every day.
Yeah they're relentless
"Several studies have been done on the psychological effects of random rewards on monkeys. For
example, if you teach a monkey to do a task and consistently reward it every time the task is done, the
monkey quickly learns to associate a specific outcome with the efforts. If you stop rewarding it for
doing the task, within a very short period of time the monkey will simply stop doing the task. It won't
waste its energy doing something that it has now learned it won't be rewarded for. However, the
monkey's response to being cut off from the reward is very different if you start out on a purely random
schedule, instead of a consistent one. When you stop offering the reward, there's no way the monkey
can know that it will never be rewarded again for doing that task. Every time it was rewarded in the
past, the reward came as a surprise. As a result, from the monkey's perspective, there's no reason to quit
doing the task. The monkey keeps on doing the task, even without being rewarded for doing it. Some
will continue indefinitely."
This makes me think of another experiment, zi think it was the Skinner box? There were pigeons and in some of the containers pressing the button guaranteed seeds, while in other containers, it was random, some of the pigeons in the random button boxes started doing different things like spinning around before pressing the button , I’ll have to look it up again for details
None of my scammers stay on the line for long.
My best conversations with scammers over the years is having one of them call me back to call me a bitch after they hung up on me.
Another one outed themselves as racist against Indians after I brought up a great Indian place in my town.
I told another one that I had $120,000 in credit card debt and they asked me which card had the significant amount. They hung up on me after I said, "Well when you are $120,000 in credit card debt, all of them are significant."
I had 1 scammer say some terrible things about my daughter that I don't have and then after I laughed with him we talked about Xbox 360 and he apologized for what he said and told me to have a good day.
My favorite one though, I got into a moaning fight with a scammer while I was at work. We were both just sexually moaning at each other for a few minutes and it was one of the most absurd moments of my life.
Imagine spinning up a 100 or more instances of this AI to just waste the time of the scammers.
Can you imagine if you simultaneously unleashed an army of these AI bots on scam call centers?
Scammers should be scared.
Yes, I CAN imagine that. It doesn't even matter if they know it's a bot or not. Just the sheer number of AI calls will do the rest, and drive expenses through the roof and drive the profits through the floor. Run the buggers out of business!
The genius of this formula is, he's pranking people that truly deserve it. The unspoken issue with other popular prankers was that the people they pranked could very well be average jerks like you and me; just earning a living. But here, the formula is perfected and channeled at those who truly deserve to be punked. It's guilt free indulgence.
Not only do they deserve to get pranked and humiliated, but all the time they waste talking to a scambaiter is time they can't spend successfully stealing money from vulnerable people
You know, kitboga reports these bank accounts...which is the main purpose. sometimes banks even help their customers get their money back
Dude you are next level and this is just awesome. You need an army of these to piss them off and waste time.
This was a joy to watch. The AI generated bathroom breaks are genius
Would be even greater if the bot had Alzheimer's and had to ask them to start over.
In theory, Kitboga could create a whole race of AI bots to do thousands of calls per day and clog up their works.
AMAZING WORK! I love that the bot is wasting these scammers' time and hearing them getting increasingly frustrated had me crying laughing!!
can i just bring attention to the console text looking fancy as hell over there? like you can see colors and arrows being animated, it could be boring console logs like there is right above it but no, you get a fancy ui telling you a lot about the current state of the ai.
very pleasant to look at, and also funny to hear the results. nice job kitboga, subscribed
Fcking brilliant. and even when the AI screws up, it is random in a way that humans wouldn't be and makes it more hilarious, and the scammer still keeps rolling with it. It's hilarious in itself that they keep unknowingly talking to a robot, let alone being 'manipulated' by it
UPGRADES PEOPLE, UPGRADES
Watching you train the AI live was the best thing ever, Kit! It was super exciting to see it work but also hilarious when it would just mess up or misunderstand what the scammer was saying. This is fantastic and I hope you continue to do it!!
Whwre can I find the training? did he used GPT-3? I need to know how did he use a natural voice in it
@@xlgabriel can’t answer the rest, but the voice is his own
@@xlgabriel Given the editing, it seems like he's using a soundboard with clips of his own voice, and there's no AI at all. But I didn't watch the live stream so I don't know.
I'm so proud of how far Western Amber has come. Keep up the good work, Kitboga!
You have certainly levelled up with this AI in your toolbox, great job. Beside ridicule & punishment there's got to be a rehab option, too.
When the AI gets confused, he should default to saying "Just wait a moment" 🤣🤣🤣
I am so excited to see this project grow it’s so funny to see Kitboga come so far that he gets to genuinely react to himself live
Definitely a saint for keeping as many of these people busy and away from vulnerable people!
In response to "you are a hacker" you could make the AI ask what is that or react like it believes they are trying to insult him. I believe it could lead to even funnier conversations.
Like an if:hacker, then "I've a bit of a bad cough, is that what you're talking about? I think I got the COVID.
Poor AI looked so confused at the end. Like, "Why did they call me a hacker and hang up? I am a good boy and I'm doing my best"
Or any if the various quotes from the movie "Hackers". Or even better start a command chain of reasoning about if they're inside the "Matrix" asking if the scammer took the blue or red pill.
This is amazing! Once you work out bugs, you need to roll out an app and let us download and have the bot answer numbers we don't know! I'd buy it!
YES
Like this**
*throws money at the screen
Take it! Give it to me now!
Okay, so i know VERY little about machine learning and AI and all that, but this is REALLY good. I love this.
The AI is hilarious. And then you supervising and reacting to the AI is a whole other level of entertainment. I love the variability of the AI compared to just the predictable nature of a human. I also appreciate running an application and seeing if it does what you expect.
Would be awesome if you could get this AI out to everyone. Where we can record our voices for random varius answers. Creating a mass AI army to annoy these scammers.
Yes!
Mmhmm. Not only would it provide it with more data for better training, but, because it will havemany different voices, scammers wouldn't be able to tell they're talking to an AI instead of a real human.
"Deceptibots - Roll Out!"
I get the vibe by showing code that he intends to maybe opensource at some point? I might be wrong. But he doesn't seem to be withholding anything from the public.
@@santosic Touring Test successful. That's scary but in a good way. These scammers can go to hell
The idea that some major US Bank has a BOLO for some old man who refused to wear a shirt (and/or shoes) in their lobby in the 1970's......LOL I can't. Brilliant AF.
And he's banned not from being a customer, but from sending money to accounts at that bank. 😂
This is some of the most impressive AI application and execution I've seen. Pretty incredible.
I was blown away. How does it even know when to initiate a response?
the part where it knows when to wait or just continue talking even when someone talks over it is hands down one of the best. Just imagine multiple instances of this stored in cloud and just do trial and errors across scam call centers.
Preferably lots and LOTS of multiple instances!
It would be really funny if u added a random ramble story that the AI just keeps rambling on about for like 10min, completely ignoring the scammer. Ex: “oh my cat the other day did the cutest thing! They cuddled with me and purred and I got to pet their soft fur.” And at the end you just say “oh sorry for getting off topic, what did u want again?”
I was right there with you on Twitch when you asked our opinion on weather we thought an AI was a good idea. I am so proud of you Kitboga, your creation is beautiful and you are awesome!
Kit is one of the smartest minds on the internet and he deserves so much more recognition, keep it up man!
True that. Guy is probably A LOT smarter than he lets on.
Finally, a useful application of AI.
That comment didn't age well
@@KitsuneShapeShifter Eh, it kind of did. AI as a concept has been around for ages with plenty of uses. He's talking about language models, which the world lost their minds over, and I'd say that this is pretty much one of the only 'useful' applications, since their purpose is to talk.
Even if you're including AI "art", the only use that's had is stealing from a bunch of artists to pay less money to real artists.
Maybe both will improve in the future, but for now, the comment has aged fine.
@@midnight4685 *Begins to ferment*
Oh look, another AI hater
I asked for more of this and once again Kitboga delivers...another step towards automatically stopping these scammers for good.
It's funny that Kit is such a sweet guy he doesn't even want to be negative about scammers.
Also, you see the surprise when the AI does something he didn't expect, like your kid speaking for the first time.
This is beautiful! It needs a lot of work, of course. But the scammer probably thinks he has a senile old man on the phone! All he has to do is get him to follow instructions! Dangling the cash "carrot" in front of the scammer gives him a lot of incentive to be patient with the old robo-codger! 🤖👴🏼
The idea of being able to set up like 100 of these AI's and call a bunch of scammers is amazing. Only issue is they scammers will start catching on and the AI will need to be updated.
Yeah but the beautiful thing is if it’s set up with machine learning, it will teach itself how to waste the maximum amount of time and automatically adapt as the scammers pick up on the signs.
Just change the voice and boom. Ready for round 2.
I'm pretty sure if this becomes a thing, more people can also offer their voices to an AI voice database. We could have hundreds of voices and characters to choose from so it's even harder to tell if it's an AI and who's human.
... that also sounds like something from a dystopian novel ngl.
Make it happen. Wasting time counts as a win
This is so effective, every now and then I feel bad for the person on the other end until I remember they're a disgusting human being that deserves so much more than just their time being wasted. We need an army of these running 24/7!
Is it possible that you're becoming even more brilliant? The implications of this are incredible!
Now if we can get a bunch of computers running this AI, imagine how many potential victims won't be able to get through. Keep the AIs on all their lines. :)
Yeah, that's the general idea. The more, the merrier!
I haven’t laughed this hard in months! Every time the ai went to the bathroom I lost it.
Genius, this takes it to a whole new level. Once perfected there could be a room full of AI going after these scammers 24/7.
Why wait? We should have hundreds of these all running automatically already.
For the record, if you need your AI bot to have multiple voices to choose from I’m sure many in your community would volunteer to record audio clips saying a series of responses for you.
I would totally lend my voice for such a project, gladly. The more voices the AI has the harder it'd be for scammers to differentiate between bot or human.
This is a brilliant idea @kitboga
Young ... old.... angry.... apologetically nice.
I wonder if the scammer would scam a child?
@@markgard That's a frightening thought about the child. My guess would be for probably 70% of the scammers the answer would be yes. Now I want to know.
I'm sure they would scam a child. Kids don't usually have bank accounts or much money though.
We need this on our phones so those scammers can be directed to the bots when they call us and record it for playback later in case we're working lol
My face is hurting from smiling and laughing, thank you Sir for what you do!
jokes on us, the ai bot ate up 16 mins of our time too. I could watch this all day 🤣
