(Maybe) two conclusions follow from this line of reasoning.
* Statistical: might "excess fraud" be used to estimate the impact of #AI on disinformation?
* Policy: it seems that we have no choice but to build a better world. Single-point measures are unlikely to be effective. When institutions are trustable and scammers and liars are marginalized, the attack surface of fraudsters shrinks dramatically.
For me, as usual "a better world" means "a radically rewired economy".
