Today’s news story is inspired by the countless articles being posted and circulated online, about the growing harm of fake and AI videos.
AI-generated videos are nothing new – however, the sophisticated way in which they are now being produced is making them potentially mote damaging than ever. Most recently, the Telegraph in Britain highlighted AI videos showing doctors endorsing weight loss products – highlighting an issue which can lead to serious health risks.
Many of us think we can tell the difference between a real video and an AI one – but how right are we?
The Problem with AI Videos
The rise of AI videos isn’t just potentially harmful – it also has a huge impact on content creators and those who want to monetise their social platform or use it for business growth.
When content can be made by technology, it bypasses the work of content creators in both speed and consistency. Even when the content is of a lesser quality, regular posting on a consistent schedule can give a fake account a huge boost in views.
And while content creators can of course buy more views to keep up with AI content, the rise of AI videos means staying ahead of trends is more difficult than ever.
What’s the Solution?
In our opinion, remaining authentic in your posting is crucial. AI content will eventually fall put of favour with users – but your genuine content won’t! And if you need to buy a few views and comments to keep up in the meantime… we won’t tell!
