So far, deepfake scams have created fake videos or audio recordings of celebrities or politicians to promote a particular agenda or harm someone's reputation. Sometimes, deep fakes can also be used to impersonate individuals, such as a CEO or government official, and manipulate others into divulging sensitive information or making fraudulent transactions.

Chatbots have become an increasingly popular tool for spreading misinformation and propaganda online. With advancements in AI technology, scammers and fraudsters can now use chatbots to impersonate individuals or organizations, spread false information, sow discord, and manipulate public opinion.

According to panelists at Internet 2.0 Conference, they can be incredibly effective at spreading false information and manipulating public opinion, especially when used in large numbers.

Chatbots are also used to spread false information about products or services, promote scams, or manipulate stock prices. For example, a scammer might create a chatbot that impersonates a customer service representative for a legitimate company and use it to steal sensitive information from unsuspecting individuals.
