Despite continued warnings of deepfake chaos during major events, things haven\u2019t worked out the way some thought. Those video deepfakes are bad, and they remain bad<\/a>. Quite simply, nobody is fooled – or at least, nobody able to make a mistaken snap judgement in a way that matters.<\/p>\n

As much as we over dramatise their use in our heads, the video aspect of deepfaking has a long way to go to pull the proverbial wool over our eyes. But it’s a little bit harder to spot an AI-generated image, as you can see on sites such as This Person Does Not Exist<\/a>, and some people are using these fake images on social media.<\/p>\n

When LinkedIn connections go wrong<\/h2>\n

Two Stanford University researchers, Ren\u00e9e DiResta and Josh Goldstein have found more than 1,000<\/a> fake Linked In profiles using AI-generated faces<\/p>\n

The story begins with someone sending a message to an individual on LinkedIn. Nothing odd there, except the recipient happens to know their way around AI generated images.<\/p>\n

Given that, it\u2019s funny this whole story came about bcs that Keenan Ramsey profile sent a LinkedIn message to @noUpside<\/a> \u2014 one of the few people who CAN spot the telltale signs of an AI-generated image.<\/p>\n

"The face jumped out at me as being fake," she says. https:\/\/t.co\/TyoBp2qxIP<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/wCnG62g5Kt<\/a><\/p>\n
