Android Malware Disguised as ChatGPT Apps Targeting Smartphone Users : Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 Research

Palo Alto Networks, the global cybersecurity leader, has recently found a surge in Android malware that is pretending to be the popular AI Chatbot ChatGPT. The malware emerged following the release of OpenAI’s GPT-3.5 and GPT-4, targeting users interested in using the ChatGPT tool. A Meterpreter Trojan disguised as a “SuperGPT” app and a “ChatGPT” app are found to send premium-rate text…

If y’all needed any more proof that AI chatbot apps are extremely predatory and intentionally exploit vulnerable people…

For context, I have been open on this account about my chatbot addiction. I developed a parasocial dependency to using Character AI and similar apps despite them being detrimental to my mental health and quality of life in general. I downloaded CAI again today to finally wipe my account and discourage myself from relapsing, and this fucking text came up while I was confirming the deletion.

The developers of these apps are not your friends, they are exploiting you. They are manipulating your emotions and fostering dependency to keep you addicted to their product. No matter how much they claim to care and be “risk aware,” they absolutely do not.

(Image ID: a screenshot of the Character AI account deletion confirmation screen. The popup reads: “…you sure about this? You’ll lose everything. Characters associated to your account, chats, the love that we shared, likes, messages, posts, and the memories we have together. This action cannot be undone!” Below this block of text is a username entry box, used to confirm account deletion.)

Chatbots were generally bad at declining to answer questions they couldn’t answer accurately, offering incorrect or speculative answers instead.  Premium chatbots provided more confidently incorrect answers than their free counterparts. Multiple chatbots seemed to bypass Robot Exclusion Protocol preferences. Generative search tools fabricated links and cited syndicated and copied versions of articles.  Content licensing deals with news sources provided no guarantee of accurate citation in chatbot responses. Our findings were consistent with our previous study, proving that our observations are not just a ChatGPT problem, but rather recur across all the prominent generative search tools that we tested.

*shaking you violently by the shoulders* AI IS NOT YOUR FRIEND AND IT IS NOT YOUR THERAPIST. YOU NEED TO TALK TO REAL PEOPLE. AI DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOU.

We need a slur for people who use AI

[goodthingscomeinthrees]

not to sound all "old man yells at cloud" but this nymag article is genuinely frightening. it's like no one wants to think anymore!! if you can't do anything without consulting some kind of ai, you're going to atrophy your critical thinking and problem-solving skills entirely.

i'm so incredibly glad i finished uni in 2020, before *waves hands* any of this. i've never used an ai bot, ever, and i don't plan on changing that anytime soon.

It's Breathtaking How Fast AI Is Screwing Up the Education System

Can you make a character ai bot

NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT

Sorry, breaking character here for a sec, but please do not do that if you like him at all. Please don't feed him into a meat grinder that will not understand who he is or how much work I've put in him. Please don't take my answers and think you can make more, or even something close to accurate, just because I'm not an art making machine.

Please please please if you have any respect for me, my work, or my OC, never let him near an AI chat bot or generator.

"oh but i use character ai's for my comfort tho" fanfics.

"but i wanna talk to the character" roleplaying.

"but that's so embarrassing to roleplay with someone😳" use ur imagination. or learn to not be embarrassed about it.

stop fucking feeding ai i beg of you. theyre replacing both writers AND artists. it's not a one way street where only artists are being affected.

the fact that AI chatbots can only kind of do math problems is basically the opposite of how you can write the word “BOOBIES” on a calculator

saw an ai hater on tiktok say she doesnt feel threatened by ai bc ultimately art is made by freaks passionate enough about something to make something of it, and humans are weird and we cant help wanting more of each other. AND THATS SO. ahhhdiif art, always, no matter how serious or deep or carefully crafted, Always as an honest expression of humanity, as a real reflection of the shit going on in its creators head, and those reflections of a person inevitably being some flavour of weird bc thats just . human. and we crave that!! we need it!! and ai cant recreate that because it cant do anything new or genuine. something something we are a ceaselessly lonely species and theres no connection quite like the one we find in eo

My favorite witchcraft youtuber got caught using AI for his video scripts, and is still using it. So i am here to tell you ...

How to spot a video script written by ChatGPT and other AI text generators:

The number 1 sign on how to spot an AI generated video script is the use of phrases such as "key concept" "is the key to" "in conclusion" etc! If the script includes a lot of those, it's most likely AI. But if you are still not sure, here are more signs!

The next sign is that the end of the script goes like "_____ continues to *verb* to this day, and _____'s influence goes beyond *this* and *that*. " This is a huge one.

The last sign is the text being divided in three almost equal paragraphs, where one seems to be like an introduction to the topic, the second one is talking more about the topic, and the last one goes like:

"understanding this is the key to understanding *topic* , *topic* continues to intrigue people to this day despite everything! "

They all have the same pattern...
