The proliferation of AI-generated images 'has made Facebook a very bizarre, very creepy place for me,' said Casey Morris, an attorney in Northern Virginia.
Between their subject matter, stylistic clues and odd errors, it quickly became obvious to Morris that these images were fake - the products of artificial intelligence.
AI-generated images are not being posted by people users know or follow, but rather suggested by platforms like Facebook and Threads, generating thousands of reactions and comments from unsuspecting users.
Reporters have noted a surge in apparently AI-generated posts on Facebook and other social media platforms, with the platform's own algorithm often boosting these posts, leading to concerns of spam and scams.
