Part 5/10:
The landscape of online manipulation is continuously evolving, characterized by a wide array of tactics and actors. Camille notes that disinformation campaigns now often incorporate advanced technological tools such as AI-generated profile pictures created via Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs). These AI-crafted images depict entirely fictional individuals, making fake personas more convincing and harder to detect.
Another alarming development is the rise of synthetic text, generated by AI models like GPT-2 and GPT-3. These technologies can produce believable articles and social media posts, making it increasingly difficult to distinguish authentic content from fabricated material.
