Recent events involving AI

AI has now become a big part of our world as a whole. Everyday just simply looking at social media people mistake AI posts as real. How do these fake posts really impact us? These posts are meant to make viewers interested by posting something out of the ordinary. Though these posts do a whole lot more than increase views. Recently AI images and videos are being posted to market fake products scammers are trying to sell. These videos most of the time do not have a AI generated tag at the bottom leaving the viewer unaware of whether the video or photo of the product are real. Many people have reported buying online products that turned out to be an AI scam. Another way AI has been used to scam people is by creating fake videos or images of well known celebrities or influencers trying to sell a product. Seeing a familiar and trusted influencer or celebrity increases these scams as well as viewer activity. Well these AI videos may sometimes look obviously fake other times you probably miss that videos are fake as well. Looking at statistics from allaboutcookies.org when asking 1,000 American internet users if they had ever been fooled by AI 77% said yes. As you can see every minute AI scams are becoming more common next time you go to buy a product make sure it is real.
