KINGSTON – Jamaica is experiencing a natural disaster unprecedented in the country’s history. Hurricane Melissa has hit the coast, and many streets and thoroughfares are currently flooded. What’s worse is that someone wanted to make a living from this disaster and spread even more fear among people. Sharks were supposed to swim in the flooded streets. But everything is different.
These days, the world is focused on Jamaica, which was hit by the powerful hurricane Melissa. At the beginning of the week, a video started to spread on social networks, which talks about another great danger.
“Look, it’s a shark! And right in the streets,” said the author of the video during the filming of the hurricane.
Artificial intelligence
But the fact is that the shark fin sticking out of the rough water on the coast was generated through AI. The Newsweek website points out that the footage is fake. The profile should have been responsible for it @yulian_studios, who often shares similar videos with artificial intelligence effects. Many have hundreds of thousands of views. Someone has already downloaded the video from the official profile.
In addition, he points out that similar images circulate on social networks commonly during hurricanes and other natural disasters. However, they are often quickly refuted. A wave of criticism immediately started on social networks.
“Can you please stop the artificial intelligence at a time when we are worried about our families and interested in the current weather information?” she wrote @qweenmanifesting3.
“Artificial Intelligence is getting out of hand,” commented the owner of the profile @lentz86.
