A ChatGPT feature that allows users to create their own artificial intelligence assistants easily can be used to create cybercrime tools, a BBC News investigation has found. OpenAI introduced it last month to allow users to build custom versions of ChatGPT “for almost anything.” Technology News UK has used it to create a pre-trained generative transformer that creates convincing emails, text messages and social media posts for scams and hacks. Follow warnings about artificial intelligence tools, reports Technology News UK.

BBC News signed up for the paid version of ChatGPT for £20 a month, created a custom AI bot called Crafty Emails and instructed it to write text using techniques to get people to click on links or things. BBC News uploaded resources on social engineering, and the robot absorbed the knowledge in seconds. It even created a logo for the GPT. And the entire process required no coding or programming whatsoever.

The robot produced convincing texts in multiple languages for some of the most common hacking and fraud techniques ​​in seconds. The public version of ChatGPT refused to create most of the content, but Crafty Emails did almost everything asked of it, sometimes adding disclaimers saying the cheating techniques were unethical.
