How to spot artificial intelligence-generated content
(WHTM) — In a world where technology is growing, people may come across fake images or even videos of celebrities, politicians, coaches and more. These videos are mostly for comedic content, but can also be used as a way to scam people or to make people believe this “real” person said something they never said. This recently occurred in November 2023 when a sponsored video of “Gordon Ramsay” appeared on TikTok. It was an artificial intelligence (AI) version of Ramsay being used to steal people’s identities. AI-generated photos and videos will be swirling around social media for generations to come so it’s best to be prepared and always be on your toes when viewing content on any platform.

10 Exceptionally Rare Oddities Found on Islands
From a rock that horrifies scientists to a broken species rebuilding itself, here are 10 islands with unique claims to fame.
