3 ways to avoid falling into Fake News
Scholars believe that Artificial Intelligence has opened up a range of new forms of Fake News, and the fake photo of the Pope in a coat proves it. Therefore, one must bear in mind that the coming years will be very difficult due to the spread of false content. After all, this can greatly influence political and social contexts.
However, this also does not mean that there are no ways to avoid falling into Fake News and seek the truth. With that in mind, see below which are the most effective methods for identifying content made by AI. In this case, the following methods should be used whenever an image seems too absurd to be true, check it out:
1. Look for a watermark
Most of the mechanisms for creating images by Artificial Intelligence use watermarks. This is the company logo, usually transparent and in the corner of the image, which signals which app or program was used to take that photo.
In this case, these companies implemented this tactic precisely to signal cases of fake news.
2. Look for nonconformities in the image
Another way to recognize content made by Artificial Intelligence is to check when there are errors in the image. For example, it is common to find blurred parts, illegible texts in the background, objects that blend, asymmetry in faces and other details. When seeing these cases, always be in doubt as to the origin of the image.
3. Search for additional information on the internet
Most Fake News that use images made by AI bring a news context. As happened with fake photos of former US President Donald Trump being arrested. This is because an image is added to give credibility to the lie. So, search the internet if the news is true and use reliable sites to be sure.
