799 - Have you noticed how many people believe AI photos are real?

I am blown away by the comments on videos that are AI-generated.

People don't realize the whole video is done with AI, as in, IT'S NOT REAL.

There is a video of a wise man telling a prophetic story while his dog sits patiently by his side. It was incredible how many people fixated on the lack of movement from the dog.

🤷‍♀️ "There's something wrong with that dog. He never moves."

🤦‍♀️ "OMG, the dog never blinked. How does he do that?"

😂 "The dog never looked at the man. That's weird..."

It's not only "older" people. There are comments from every generation.

This is not a generational issue.

I say that because some will assume that my following comment concerns my sister's age.

My sister is in her 70s. She is intelligent, alert, well-traveled, a talented quilter, a master diver, and many other things.

She recently sent me this "photo" of Miami Beach. I explained that it was not a photo but an AI-generated image.

At first, she tried to defend herself but after I pointed out a few obvious details, she admitted it "probably" wasn't real.

Like millions of other people of all ages who do not immediately recognize a fake photo with they see one, she had fallen for it.

Here on LinkedIn, we talk a lot about AI, watching what it can do and what it is not currently able to do.
