Comments on: AI Fools: You Know These Facebook Pictures Aren’t Real, Right? https://www.pipeaway.com/ai-facebook-pictures/ mapping the extraordinary Fri, 27 Jun 2025 12:58:08 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0.1 By: Ivan Kralj https://www.pipeaway.com/ai-facebook-pictures/#comment-53548 Mon, 15 Apr 2024 20:25:55 +0000 https://www.pipeaway.com/?p=12505#comment-53548 In reply to Michael Taylor.

The internet has indeed become a breeding ground for misinformation. Even fact-checking information online requires caution, as we may find sites that confirm the fabrications, simply because their content was also created or co-created by the AI.

All of us need to keep up with the technology, but we also need to upgrade our critical thinking in this digital age.

As for the AI-generated photos shared here, it’s concerning how easily they can deceive people, especially those who may be more trusting. So indeed, it even seems that one doesn’t need to invest a lot of effort to achieve a successful scam career nowadays. Sadly.

Thanks for sharing your insights, Michael!

I’ve ex;perimented with it to search for background information on blog posts, and sometimes it works well. But I’ve soon realized that everything needs to be fact-checked. Somewhat ironically, as I was seeking background information on something a few days ago, the information AI returned was from one of my very own blog posts. Regarding the photos you’ve shared, I would like to think that people would realize they were fake, but I’m not so sure. There are some pretty naive people out there!

Thanks for your comment, Sonia!
The technology is advancing rapidly, and our confusions will only grow.
Just yesterday, I was listening to a new AI-generated music tool, with lyrics and all. And – wow!
We are getting more and more easily convinced that what we are seeing and hearing is true nature of things.
Lines between reality and fantasy are getting blurred, and this is the perfect place for those who prefer hunting in the dark.
I guess we just have to learn to live with it, and train our defence mechanisms for new challenges.
