ChatGPT-related Malware on the Rise, Meta Says

AI that generates driver's licenses complete with PDF417 barcode on the back versus the AI that's trying to detect AI generated driver's licenses. Imagine an Amazon facing customer service AI that's being manipulated by thousands of AIs trying to convince the Amazon AI to do a return on fake things. Or HR AI that's reading AI generated resumes to generate hiring meetings for non-existent
