So you know how so many scams start with a stupidly transparent hook, and most people are like "what kind of idiot believes that is for real?"
And it's a filter because the scammers don't want you, they need to obtain THAT kind of idiot first, then draw them deeper and deeper into their deceit.
I think about this EVERY time someone praises A.I.

This is for the people in my friends list who shared weirdly-colourised photos of fictitious veterans in Times Square holding slogans of non-words using their seven-fingered hands. You were shouting "Hi I'm a gullible mark" all over your Facebook. The internet remembers forever. Probably will be fine though
