In the aftermath of hurricane Helena, Asheville and other impacted regions were flooded with water, while AI generative fake images of destruction and human suffering flooded social media.
As an expert in video and photo forensics, I can say with certainty that these emotionally evocative images are fake. The first image bears telltale signs of a deepfake to a trained eye. Before reacting, people now need to check if the image is real, where it comes from, and whether it’s been manipulated. This constant mental effort adds a layer of fatigue, and many simply disengage, feeling it’s easier to not care than to wade through the sea of misinformation.Every time a person learns that an image they were emotionally invested in is fake, it chips away at their compassion.
