So it's less effective than a regular phishing email?
This is significant because any person with the desire to scam can use ChatGPT from the comfort of their own home over lunch instead of hiring professionals for a few days.
No, it's significant because attackers can pump out way more emails while also making them customized to their targets and constantly changing to help avoid detectors.
