I'm coming at it with the assumption that 1) making this so readily available would increase the number of people engaging in criminal activity and 2) that police resources are limited and would be overwhelmed by a flood of, in this example, counterfeit bills being produced.
I wonder if AI starts assisting the police will that give the police greater reach and more resources to essentially negate it?
It is incredibly hard and expensive to make realistic counterfeit money. The limiting factor is not the lack of instructions from an AI chatbot. The printing presses and plates cost tens of thousands of dollars. There is only one legitimate source of the paper that only sells to the US government. Finding the appropriate combination of fibers and an unscrupulous supplier to order it from is not something the average person is going to do.
The episode was actually really interesting. The level of detail and thought that the guy put into it could have easily made him successful at a legal enterprise. And still he got caught!
If you’re smart you’re not going to spend it yourself. You need to launder it, which means you need to know some criminal organization that can do that for you. They will pay you about 30% of the face value, so it’s not really worthwhile to make 20s.
Irresponsible though.
