    I saw a thread about a guy trying to buy a second hand item from someone on a website and suspecting the seller might be AI from someone running a scam. It’s a long string of messages, and all kind of funny, but it’s in French.

    The most absurd part of it was that the bot actually agreed to in-person delivery, with a real address (it probably went off-script). So the guy is like, why the hell not, let’s try it and goes there. Of course nobody’s there so he messages back the “seller”.

    The conversation goes like :

    "Okay, I’m here.

    _ Yes, i’m here at address too, I am waiting for you with the item.

    _ Uhh. Where?

    _ I am just in front of you.

    _ Well no you’re not.

    _ I get why you might be confused, but from my perspective, I can confirm that I can see you in front of me right now.

    _ What are you wearing ?

    _ I am wearing appropriate attire for in-person delivery. It’s comfortable and adapted to the current meteorological conditions."
