As you may or may not have been able to tell, this story was fully written in AI. The quotes and scores were legit, but everything else was written with the use of artificial intelligence instead of me. 

According to allaboutcookies.org, ”77% of Americans reported being duped by AI content online.” This comes from an assortment of deepfake images, propaganda on social media, fake videos, etc. 

These things can lead to the manipulation of different public opinions, and even take a toll on the global economy if used poorly. OpenFox.com expands more on this, saying, “The rapid spread of deepfakes on social media worsens the already prevalent issue of misinformation. A study conducted by the University of Baltimore and Cybersecurity firm CHEQ, found that in 2020, fake news cost the global economy $78 billion.”

Deepfake propaganda on social media makes people question whether they truly have privacy while on different apps. Many concerns have been raised about AI creating fake videos, including people in them without their consent.
