I recently wrote about the danger that automated chatbots could have for Israel advocacy, as they can generate lies that cannot be traced back - but people will believe them.
AI-generated photos are not yet good enough to fool most eople as being real, but it will only take a year or two before they are. While photo manipulation is as old as photography, and Photoshopping has been around for years, in the not-too-distant future anyone will be able to generate a photo that could be used as "proof" of "Israeli crimes" that no one has ever captured in a real photo.
I created a few using the AI art tools that are out there.
Jews don't raise wild boars in the West Bank to attack Palestinians? Well, now they do.
Ever wonder what "Jewish settlers storming Al Aqsa" might look like?
(Notice that the AI mistakes the Dome of the Rock for Al Aqsa, as many Arabs themselves do.)
You know those nonexistent dams in the Negev that Israeli supposedly open to flood Gaza? Here's what AI thinks they look like:
Are you sure that Israel bombed a school in Gaza but you can't find any photos? Just make them up - there's an infinite supply!
This is coming sooner than you think. And it won't be only photos, but faked videos too.
We need to be educating people now that they cannot believe anything they see without knowing where it came from.
