You’re in bed, doom-scrolling through social media (just a few more TikToks!) In a Conservation Biology study, a team of researchers investigated the virality and potentially problematic nature of AI-generated photos and videos of wild animals on social media. Along these same lines, these videos might also give young children false expectations about their local wildlife and realistic interaction with wild animals. What makes matters worse is people’s—particularly young people’s—increased use of social media as a source of information. “AI-generated wildlife videos can look convincing, but there are some telltale signs,” University of Buffalo computer engineer Siwei Lyu tells Popular Science.
