I agree, I'd like to live in a society where a position against scamming is a good thing for the general good of our society.
I wouldn't be surprised if some people have literally flown halfway around the world in search of people, places, or things that don't exist.
Fraud is a seriously neglected topic regardless of what tools are used to commit it.
And what does it come up with?

Weakest argument against AI I've ever heard.

We've already seen it with climate change. Arguing with statistical factoids is too ethereal for anyone and leads to some kind of fatigue. There is no emotional difference between 100 mWh and 10000 mWh. But a "I had to bring my dog to the vet because chatGPT told me to give it chocolate" will convince anyone to deeply distrust technology.
FAANG and its acolytes deprived us from actual connection with our environment. Judging the argument as weak is sad proof of that.
So how about instead of using the slot-machine that chatGPT is, we go visit our grandma, hug our dad or just get a new houseplant :)

The former build up a mental model about how plants react to light, water, and fertilizer over time. The latter don't care at all how plants work; they just want the answer, and are the main customers for this type of AI.
I would guess that most communities have a similar problem, and the hobbyists are always outnumbered by the people who pop in, demand an answer, and then leave.
