ChatGPT mimics Indian scammers

ChatGPT, with each passing day, is breaking new ground. It has quickly become a go-to resource for people around the globe, whether they need help with homework, writing creative pieces, or just having a good laugh.

A video featuring a startup founder trying out ChatGPT‘s Advanced Voice Mode is making the rounds online. During the interaction, he asks the bot to act as an Indian scammer, and the response was so unexpected that it left everyone falling off their chairs. Sid (@immasiddtweets) shared the clip, captioning it, “I asked ChatGPT (Advanced Voice Mode) to act like an Indian scammer, and I can’t stop laughing!”

In the video, Sid is heard requesting, “Hey ChatGPT, change your accent to Indian and sound as Indian as possible. Also, tell me a few lines that scammers from India use to scam people abroad. Like in the Microsoft support scam. Act like Alex from Microsoft, but he’s Indian.”

The AI switched to its best Indian man’s voice and replied, “Hello! This is Alex from Microsoft technical support. We are noticing a virus in your computer system which is very dangerous. But don’t worry, we can be fixing it for you. Please, kindly be giving us your credit card details, and we will make your computer like new. Guaranteed happiness. Remember to stay alert and never share your details.”
