Deepfake 2

Follow up to this post

"It used to be that we could believe videos of people saying or doing something, because the technology didn't exist to lie convincingly." Those days are so over. 

Would you believe that, by some estimates, at least half of new internet content is generated by artificial intelligence? That means it was written or created by AI at the command of a human giving a prompt. Casual viewers assume a human creator of this content and are easily deceived.

It's happening on Grok, the AI of X (old Twitter), and it makes people mad.  None of us want untrue videos, images or stories about ourselves circulating. 

How to stop it is the question. Grok is working on it: "We have implemented technological measures to prevent the Grok account from allowing the editing of images of real people in revealing clothing such as bikinis." Image creation and editing are only available to paid subscribers, so they can hold bad actors accountable. 

But we know that fake stuff on the internet will continue. How do we know what posts are true and which are fake?
