WalesOnline app shows fake Alex Jones ads with ‘disturbing’ images
AI-generated images are being increasingly shared on social media in relation to news content.
Sometimes these images are created and shared online as satire, but other times they are posted to mislead unsuspecting users or to promote scams.
But there are still signs that can help you identify images generated with AI.
The technology usually struggles to generate realistic human hair, fingers and toes, produces unnaturally cartoonish skin tones and limbs, unintelligible text and numbers in images, as well as indistinct backgrounds.
It’s also possible to use free reverse image search tools to determine if an image has been posted elsewhere, including by major news outlets or official bodies.
If AI adverts direct you to a fake news page that looks like a major news outlet, like the BBC, you can quickly check the BBC News website or app to see if that story has actually been published.
