Hot Take:

Well, folks, it looks like the cyber baddies are at it again, this time using the allure of AI's shiny toys to dangle a malware-marinated carrot in front of unsuspecting Facebook users. With a faux Midjourney here and a bogus ChatGPT-5 there, the only 'intelligence' you're likely to encounter is the artificial kind that swipes your passwords faster than a cat video goes viral. Remember, if an ad screams "Download this and become the next Elon Musk of AI," it's probably just a one-way ticket to Hacksville.
