Didn't Take Long for AI Scams in Marketing

I am a huge fan of AI...I spent countless hours to become a Master Certified AI Trainer and an AI Master Marketing Specialist....However, as with most good things, there is a downside and it was only a matter of time. 

It all started with apps promising "AI based airline flight discounts".  For a fee, you (supposedly) receive SPECIAL prompts that couold save you hundreds on an airline ticket. Well...guess what, AI has many things but it does not have a special "back door" into these types of discounts. Pure fodder.

I support learning prompts...On weekly Zoom meetings, I have frequently stressed that "it is all about the prompts" and this is true. 

The moral of the story is....test everything and do not believe amazing opportunities you may receive by email or social media. 

One of the good (and bad at the same time) aspects of AI is that is evolves constantly, yet is prone to abuse from pirates looking to separate you from your cash!!!

Thanks, Paddy for the warning.

This is an important cautionary reminder, especially as enthusiasm around AI continues to grow. Your example highlights how easily credible sounding claims can blur the line between education and exploitation.

Prompts matter, but they do not create access to private systems or hidden discounts. Testing, verification, and healthy skepticism are essential as tools evolve. Your point about AI being powerful yet vulnerable to misuse is well taken. Education protects users, while unrealistic promises are often the first warning sign.
