I asked Chat GPT-4 to write a sample scambaiting reply, adopting my writing style to create its own silly response. (I uploaded a sample of my writing first.)
My Instructions Were:
=======
I want you to write a "scambaiting" email for me. It is to be sent to a scammer in another country who is trying to get me to send them money so that I can receive some sort of inheritance.
When I write such emails, my goal is to waste as much of the scammer's time as possible by asking ridiculous questions or making ridiculous comments...but WITHOUT the scammer realizing everything I am saying is false.
=======
The AI Analyzed My Writing My Style (not included here), To Which I Responded:
=======
In addition to your analysis, I deliberately am repetitive in my wording — as though I am simply a bad writer.
Also: "{Words in the Sample}" is the title of a hit record from the 1970s. I like to sneak in song titles or even lyrics from hit songs...but in a way in which the recipient of the email is unlikely to realize I'm referencing a song.
Now that you have read everything, do you think you are ready to write a completely original scambaiting email that sounds like the sample I shared with you?
======
Here Is What The AI Wrote:
======
Dear Sir Michael Willowbrook, (My Note: I think that's a wonderful name — although of course we scambaiters don't get to make up the names of the people who try to victimize us.)
It is with a heavy heart and deep regret that I write this message. When Mr. Billy Jean first introduced me to this unprecedented opportunity, I was over the moon with enthusiasm. It's not every day that someone like me is given such an opening. However, the more I dwell on the information you've sent, the more I begin to wonder: Does Mr. Billy Jean truly have a clue? Or is he, as my dear Uncle Simon (from the other side of the family) often said, "just another brick in the wall"?
Your proposition, as laid out by Mr. Billy Jean, seems to be riddled with gaps and ambiguities. I ask, how hard can it be to provide clear instructions? It's almost as if Mr. Billy Jean is attempting to "take the long and winding road" rather than taking the straightforward path. Perhaps it's his nature. But it's disheartening to me, someone who genuinely wishes to be involved in such an endeavor.
To put it plainly, Sir Michael, I cannot fathom why someone with a noble intention like yours would rely on someone like Mr. Billy Jean, who either seems to be "living on a prayer" or is just downright inept. My cousin, Penny Lane, once remarked, "You can't always get what you want." While I hoped for a seamless partnership, it appears I might be stuck in "a hard day's night" because of Mr. Billy Jean's lackadaisical approach.
I dearly hoped to embark on this journey with you, but with the current situation, it feels like we're "going round in circles." I await clearer communication, devoid of Mr. Billy Jean's convoluted jargon.
Hoping for a brighter tomorrow,
Sir Reginald "Reggie" Helterskelter (I love that surname. Maybe sometime I'll drum up the nerve to try using it to identify myself.)
======
I am quite impressed with the name of the recipient, the dense verbiage.
I think some of the song titles and/or lyrics are excessive; I try to slip them into my reply, whereas the AI's response has — in my opinion — too many such references.
