My wife calls me, panicked

This reads like it has been specifically worded to read like it is a claim of something that happened, but when disproven can be pointed to to say the use of the present tense clearly shows that it is describing a hypothetical situation.

Even the advisories about how to deal with AI-powered threats are AI-written now....

"our son" would be a tell. Who talks like that about their child to their spouse?

Also emergency rooms in the US have an obligation to treat to stabilization in emergency situations regardless of ability to pay, so if they're demanding payment then it's not actually an emergency.

I seriously doubt this happened.

> Prediction: In less than 90 days, all channels that we thought were safe from spam & automation will be so flooded that they will no longer be usable in any functional sense: iMessage, phone calls, Gmail.

This claim seems way overblown.

...or just ask something only they would know? takes no coordination, works even in a stressful situation, and you can always follow up with more

Now do the same with your grandma, Grandpa, aunt, sister, etc. Seems to scale poorly =(
