If as some have theorized the criteria for achieving Artificial Intelligence is creating a program significantly sophisticated enough to be able to converse with humans without the humans being able to distinguish between it and other humans, then that day may have arrived.
I4UNews is reporting that a Russian website says it has a software tool designed to troll online chat forums and posing as a man collect personal information from unexpecting women including names, and phone numbers. They claim that it can chat with up to 10 different women at a time.
While the claims sound fantastic, PC Tools who previewed the software, has warned that the software could be used to harvest personal details online for nefarious uses.
Whether or not the claims are true will become clear when the software goes on sale around February 15.

So before you give out personal information to someone in a chat room, think twice, you might be talking to a nefarious bot.
