Oh sorry, because you called them deviant natives and asked at the end if they'll ever learn, I thought you were putting the blame on the kids who got scammed.
No. As said, their deviant behaviour is now mainstream behaviour. and if they will ever learn is a fair question - as you said, it is about education and most have had at least some education on this, but haven't learned. At least in Finland, digital education is part of the curriculum - they obviously haven't learned yet.
I have to imagine they want to protect their kids however possible.
Even the parents who feed their kids junk food daily, say they want the best for their kids.
although it'd pretty much be an arms race as the scammers also develop GenAI to defeat the protecting GenAI... until we all get exhausted and log off forever.
It is an arms race anyway. Who can create general intelligence and monopolise the entire market first.
It's truly hard to know how far away artificial general intelligence is, because that's the development that's all happening behind closed doors. It might already exist, it might be decades away or it might truly be impossible - who knows?
