Grok AI's Fraud Detection Capabilities

Grok, an AI developed by Elon Musk, can reportedly identify scams and fraud, such as phishing emails. For instance, it can flag dubious correspondence from so-called 'Nigerian princes' as fraudulent. The AI also demonstrated its potential by accurately categorizing the 'fine people hoax' as a hoax.
