How to Spot AI

This week, I saw the cutest little set of tarot statues advertised to me on Facebook. The algorithm knows me so well. 

I clicked on the shop, and something didn’t feel right. I did a google search on whether the business was legit, and it had a very low trust rating. I am not sure if those little statues are even real. 

That feeling in regards to AI is called the “Uncanny Valley”. It is a form of unsettling intuition that a human image or mock up is so close to real that it’s creepy. This phrase likely will begin to be used for AI creations overall.

Today, I went and looked for the product again, and it’s on 5 more sites, but none of them have a very high trust score. Hmmmm…

My dad always says, ‘If it’s too good to be true, it likely is”.
