The war in Gaza is highlighting the latest advances in artificial intelligence as a way to spread fake images and disinformation. The fake videos and photos are intended to stoke horror and outrage, and mislead people about atrocities or responsibility for casualties.

Fake babies, real horror: Deepfakes from the Gaza war increase fears about AI’s power to mislead::Among images of the bombed out homes and ravaged streets of Gaza, some stood out for the utter horror: Bloodied, abandoned infants.

    Most of what you see about Gazan suffering is fake.

    I’ve seen photos someone in Israel with connections has of Palestinians posing as dead with fake blood, with the Al Jazeera photographer standing by to take the photo or video, and afterwards the “dead” children all get up and cleaned up.

    It happens A LOT. And now they have used AI to do the same.

    You need to follow trusted sources like the IDF who are actually on the ground and upload a lot of real footage on YouTube, if you want the truth.

      Ah yes, there’s nothing quite like trusting one side exclusively. No way they would ever lie for their own benefit!

        No they would not. They are a democratic state and everything they say is backed up with footage, data etc.

        Unlike Al Jazeera who work with Hamas to lie to the world

      Why should anyone believe this claim? It’s very easy to talk out of one’s ass.

      I can’t even tell if you’re being sarcastic or if you actually believe this.

      Ofcourse you should trust the footage from the US forces fighting in Iraq or Afghanistan because they’re backed by a democratic government and wouldn’t carelessly cause collateral damage, shoot innocent civilians, torture detainees, and then jail the whistleblowers. /s

        Of course I’m serious. They are the only recognised country on that land. Everything they do is backed up with footage and data.

        Hamas and Al Jazeera on the other hand are known liars.
