My 30 second AI chatbot crash course for my 68 year old aunt in Des Moines

Last month my aunt called me because she got an email saying her bank account was hacked and the link looked SO real. I had been reading about AI scams making phishing emails nearly perfect, so instead of lecturing her, I pulled up a public AI chat tool and typed the exact email text into it. Within 30 seconds it flagged the language patterns as suspicious and explained why, which she understood way better than anything I could say. Now I'm wondering if we should be teaching this kind of AI literacy to every older person before they even get targeted, has anyone else tried this approach with family?

Tried it with my neighbor. She said it made more sense than any bank warning.
