Specifically, the rate in which users fell for the human-generated messages was 4.2%, while the rate for the AI-generated ones was 2.9%. That means the human social engineers outperformed ChatGPT by around 69%. One positive outcome from the study is that security training can prove effective at thwarting phishing attacks.
