The arrival of AIs and other similar tools is helping social media content become better. However, fake news spreaders are also taking advantage of these technologies.
NPR reported that many malicious actors are spreading fake videos and images showing what's happening during the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.
One of these is a video, which shows a Hamas terrorist shooting down an Israeli helicopter. But, fact-checkers debunked this content, saying that it's not real footage, but a clip from the "Arma 3" video game.
Aside from edited videos and photoshopped images, fake voice messages are also spreading on WhatsApp and other messaging platforms. Among these is an unverified voice message claiming that a military leader urges people to stock up on groceries, fuel, and cash.
Of course, this unverified voice recording is also a fake one. You can click this link to see other debunked false videos, images, and voice messages that are spreading online.
