Let's take a look at a few incredibly implausible scam emails, and wonder how it is that people might ever fall for them - then I'll foist my own implausible nonsense upon a scammer. Well, I say 'my own nonsense'; actually, I will be heavily relying on text completion from DeepAI - deepai.org/machine-learning-model/text-generator

This is Jim Browning's video mentioned in the FAQ segment:    • My channel was deleted... HOW?

    Hey shrimp, love the videos on your channel, and especially enjoy your scambaiting. This is just my opinion, so take it with a grain of salt, I just wanted to share. I think the scambaiting conversations are much better when you’re the one writing out responses, instead of an AI. You’ve got such a great personality and wit that shines through whenever you’re actually writing out lines to a scammer or narrating, but that doesn’t come across when the responses are automatically generated by an AI. I understand the AI helps make scambaiting on Instant Messaging services easier, so I’m not saying to stop doing it, since it scambaiting is a good thing to do. But, it would be nice to have more of your personality in the scambaiting like in many of your earlier videos, instead of the responses mostly being handled by a soulless AI. No matter what, though, I really enjoy your channel and your personality. Keep up the good work.

    What Atomic Shrimp doesn't realize is that he sent a bunch of money to that scammer, but doesn't remember it because his memory was wiped.
  • The AI generated text is probably what my friends hear when I try to explain things
  • “Gift cards are used by small boys to remind them that things didn’t, in fact, go wrong when they did.” — Mrs. Monica Flange, July 7, 2021
  • I love how the one time Deep AI managed to string together a coherent statement in your scambaiting was describing the flaws of cryptocurrency.
  • "Never send anybody any money in advance, in promise of more money" "But please pay us in advance, for more money"
  • I love how like 30% of the time your utter gibberish makes complete sense to them. It's like if you just keep using words, eventually you stumble onto their language. I tear up from those bits it's so funny. lols
  • @balu22mc
    I just kinda zoned out during the ai generated story in the Monica Flange bit of the video. It was amazing, I don't know what it was about, but I am rooting for Monica's village.
  • I don't exactly know why but implying the scammers are small boys is my favorite one of the things you do.
  • @Quesbe
    15:05 In the case of the Titanic, it was an accumulation of bad luck: bad weather, nighttime, unusual place for an iceberg to be, and, most importantly, the fact that such a big ship simply cannot steer fast enough to avoid this kind of obstacle at this kind of speed (because the Titanic was steering full left (port side) when the iceberg was detected). Same thing with scams: a bad day, dried up bank account, just lost a job, etc, make a victim more susceptible to fall for a scam, not because they are stupid, but rather because they those scams bring them hope for a better future.
  • @JD-ji5xs
    i'm glad he got his channel back. it was scary to see someone as smart as Jim could get caught up in something like that. it's a very good lesson for everyone, NO ONE IS INVULNERABLE TO SCAMS.
  • "PayPal is supposed to give you more than what you want, but at the same time it means that you aren't really getting anything at all." - My tombstone engraving
  • Don't take this as negative, but I can't watch these videos. The DeepAI stuff is just on the right level of almost making sense that I can't deal with it - my brain is constantly working overtime trying to understand it and make sense of it even though I know it's word salad, and I find it legitimately exhausting. I hope the scammers find it as unpleasant as I do.
  • The AI which writes stories sounds like what a person with dementia would tell
  • "gifts cards are used by small boys as a way to remind them that things didn't, in fact, go wrong when they did." poetry
  • I'm totally buying a CoinSquirt T-Shirt and then not explaining it to anyone when they ask :-P
  • One thing that comes across in so many videos you make is how empathetic you are, which I admire immensely. Thank you for spreading that quality to your viewers.
