INSTAGRAM ACCOUNTS CREATED BY AI AND HOW TO DETECT THEM
In recent months, we've witnessed the rise of numerous Instagram accounts created with Artificial Intelligence. These accounts feature highly attractive models, and while many explicitly mention in their bios that the images are AI-generated, an increasing number remain silent, leading the average user to believe they are following and interacting with a real person.
What's the harm in this, aside from the amusement of tricking people by impersonating someone else? There is a practice known as catfishing, which involves creating a false online identity to deceive, scam, or steal another person's identity.
Letting your imagination run wild can conjure hypothetical scenarios stemming from this, akin to an evolution of the "Nigerian scam" or the attractive Russian seeking a husband in the West.
So, how can you detect if the images are created by AI? One photo alone might make you skeptical, but when you see multiple photos of the same model in different scenarios, it becomes more apparent. It all seems too perfect, and the artificial expression repeats itself over and over. If that doesn't trigger your alarms, there's something that might, at least for now: the hands.
Hands, especially fingers, pose many challenges due to their complex anatomy and myriad positions. Fingers alone have 14 bones defining their shape, adapting to activities for a realistic result. Joints, nails, and variations in shape and size—all these details are difficult for AI models to capture, especially when learning from datasets that may lack diversity and sufficient examples. If the training data doesn't adequately represent the variability in finger appearance, AI may struggle to generate accurate representations.
In this account I'm sharing now, like in many others we've seen, these errors occur. It's just a matter of time before AI learns to correct these flaws, but for now, fingers are a stumbling block.
