The Unseen Impact of AI on Fake Content Creation
The digital age has always grappled with the menace of fake videos and photos. In the past, the lack of sophisticated tools acted as a natural barrier against the widespread creation of such deceitful content. However, the landscape has dramatically shifted with the advent of artificial intelligence (AI). Today, the capability to craft and disseminate fake content has alarmingly democratized, posing unprecedented challenges to both individual reputations and societal harmony. The purpose of this article is to explore the multifaceted issue of AI-generated fake content, questioning the feasibility of containment and the extent to which it can be achieved.

Open-source tools and commercial PCs have become the new workshops for fabricating deepfakes, making the prevention of such creations a near-impossible task. The ubiquity and accessibility of these tools mean that virtually anyone with basic technical know-how can produce content that’s difficult to distinguish from reality. Please refer to this Youtube link which demonstrates how fake videos can be generated using only a few lines of code.
