Attempts to use sophisticated AI is happening more and more these days.
I wonder how intelligent the virus is?
Not that I personally want to find out but it is very interesting to note which direction computer programs in general are heading.

The program arrives in a message with an attachment that says "lol thats cool" - adopting the internet shorthand for "laughing out loud" or "lots of laughs". People who reply to the mail, possibly asking quastions about the attached file, get the reply "lol no its not its a virus".

Intelligence is not even at h4x0r-level

Hang on, I read that it chats on AIM.
If that's all it's capable of saying then that's stupid.

That's hardly sophisticated AI.

That's hardly sophisticated AI.

But it's a lot better than what was used previously.
It's more to do with the direction they are taking being more sophisticated and not the AI.
Bad choice of words on my part.

Could you imagine a being more intelligent than Jabberwock spreading virii in the future?

Wonder how stupid the person is to fall for that.

If they are able to communicate as good as you or I I'm pretty sure we would all fall for that.

Surprisingly, as idiotic as the A.I. sounds (lol check this out lol LOL lol) it's slightly more intelligent than some teenagers I've encountered online.
