So, I keep seeing these ads for a gamer map package. It's pitched like software, but actually it's just a brush and assets pack for GIMP or Photoshop or whatever. Looked scammy, so searched and found a long Reddit thread where the company "representative" defending that it wasn't just stolen assets and AI, sure looked to me like an AI bot. Huh. That's new to me. Anyone else seeing AI as social adjuncts to scam businesses?

Today, on the last day of an 8,200 nautical mile journey, I had to load an app onto my phone, give an unknown company a credit card number, and authorize a $10 charge when I only needed $7 just to do two loads of laundry.
The last time I was forced to do this on a trip, I tried to get the balance back and when they refused, I complained to the App Store and I got all of my money back. Free laundry. It looks like I'll be doing that again today. #boating #BoatLife #ripoffs
