Facebook is being flooded with AI-generated content that is masquerading as real, stolen artwork. One example is the image of a man kneeling next to an intricate wooden carving of his bulldog, which has been posted multiple times on engagement bait Facebook pages. The man and the dog in each image are different, and it is clear that they are not real. However, many Facebook users are unaware and genuinely inspired by the art. The spread of this AI-generated content highlights how Facebook is failing to help users differentiate between real and fake content. This issue has caused frustration for artists like Michael Jones, whose work has been stolen and monetized. The increasing photorealism of AI-generated images raises concerns about society’s ability to discern reality from fiction.
