In today’s Con with Steve, we talk about the recent deepfake of Taylor Swift allegedly handing out cookware.
“There was a deepfake video where you could see Taylor talking to you. It was her face, it was her voice, and everything looked legit,” said Bentley University professor and scacicide. said Steve Wiseman, author of .com. That’s part of the problem with deepfakes today, they can look really good. ”
Wiseman said AI is advancing rapidly and we need to be skeptical.
Ask yourself, would Taylor Swift really give away cooking utensils?
If you still think it’s plausible, visit her website or social media accounts. If the gift is legitimate, you’re sure to find a post about it.
If the gift is not listed, it may be a scam.
Wiseman said the video also needs to be looked at closely. He said deepfakes are not suitable for earrings or fingers, and the details are often slightly off.
Wiseman said if you believe a post is legitimate and are willing to provide payment information, never give out your debit card number, only use a credit card.
