Sorry, but these tools are far from usable for the average run-of-the-mill guy. They are specifically tailored for developers and people who can code. The people who were scammed were literally average folks, a working mum, a tarot-card reader, a truck driver....

If a scammer wants to, they can flee from all repercussions without building anything, even if all the AI tools were available to them. While Josh Adler is just one person, there are multiple such people in Dubai who've done the same to thousands of victims. Dubai is notorious for attracting those types.

This wouldn’t be the first time “tarot card reader” and “scammed” have appeared in the same sentence.

I'll give her the benefit of the doubt here. I'm also going to presume she wanted something that could be done with Squarespace and Stripe. Years ago I heard of someone calling Dell sales looking to set up file and printer sharing at a small business. Dell offered them a PowerEdge server.

To be fair, I presume most of the folks getting their tarot cards read at some county fair are usually doing it for the cheap entertainment value rather than actual actionable advice. Pay $10 for a few laughs for some time.

Not sure why she would go to national media. Seems clear that she can't be too good at her job.
